Alternative submariner bands

I am looking for alternatives to the steel band on my submariner. I am not into zulus. I am considering a divestraps.com band, has anyone tried these bands, any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
Phil

The NATO band looks good on the sub.

Others look kind of feeble.

The sub is a tough watch and a good tough strap or bracelet is needed to compliment the watch.

Regarding DiveStraps, this one looks really good, a bit expensive though:

I've had this Oris Rubber band on my 14060 for about 4 years now It looks cool, is great quality and very comfortable. It also strangely has a lovely vanilla-ish smell to it...

How about an original Tropic strap. Rolex sold the submariner with the tropic Band/strap (Tudor/5512/5513/1680.....)
