Kind of gives it a "cheap" look compared to the original bracelet, but that's my personal opinion.

If you like the look/feel of it, then that's what counts really !

Looks good, even though I prefer the two-tone bracelet.

Leave the man alone people, stop being negative if you can't say anything good, his watch he likes it that way!

Watch looks good mate.

So giving an opinion is a bad thing now ? His watch is gorgeous no one says the contrary, but we're just commenting the change of bracelet which is a matter of personal taste nothing more

Very nice, although I do like the TT bracelet. It's one of the best things about the watch.

IMO, if you've just dropped £12k+ on a new sub, I think a cool rubber strap for a few hundred bucks is worth the investment to give the watch a fresh look for when the occasion calls for it.

Obviously it will always look better on that beautiful bracelet but changing it out for the strap every now and then is like having a new Rolex for £200 extra.

Just me 2c.

The bracelet was getting too much attention. But the strap is a “lot less subtle”

so it stands out more than the bracelet?

Clarify....

I feel the same. When I saw this post I immediately looked up a blue Everest strap for mine.

Gorgeous watch OP!

I think it looks very nice. Not sure what too much attention means and why it matters?

Not sure what you mean about a black rubber in this case? There is no black on the watch, or am I missing something

Oh, and OP, looks great! I hate wearing bracelets in the summer, and rubber is much more comfortable.

I meant I prefer a black color strap that matches the black of the dial. Isn’t the OP’s watch dial black ?

I don’t usually care for rubber straps but that one looks terrific on your watch.

Did you mean "a lot more subtle"? Because that watch on the OE bracelet just screams "look at me!".

Gorgeous piece though. Just too flashy for me (BTDT).
