Dedicated pool/beach watch (Warning: Aftermarket RubberB content)

[VictorGMT]

Several years ago, I dedicated my Milgauss to beach/pool duty on an orange Rubber B.

This summer, I wanted variety. My 18K wg Sub is now ALSO dedicated to beach/pool duty on a blue Rubber B.

There is something about seeing these coordinated straps that makes me feel "Oh Yeah... I'm on vacation!!!".

YMMV.

I’m all in, well done!

I like that WG sub on the strap!! Would probably look good on white as well

[BIGMAC142]

18k WG sub is better than Omega even on fake rubber. But…. Original bracelet beats anything else all day.

Beautiful. I feel ya... My bluesy is my dedicated pool/beach watch on a rubber B as well.

Baller, but that’s a lot of gold sitting in a drawer. Does this use to the oem deployment or tang buckle?

[ArtNouveau]

I like how close the blue tones match on both watches and glad to see you’re not babying them.

[MYK]

Absolutely loving these!

They look great

[Shadow Play]

The Milgauss in particular looks superb. Definitely gives off a real summer has arrived vibe.

Not a huge fan of these rubber straps on Rolex watches,for what they are overpriced but like most things once you mention the word Rolex the price quadruples.

I prefer Bracelets on my Rolex watches unless they are originally fitted with the OF Band. I also utilize my Seiko Divers almost exclusively for water activities. Not that the Rolex/Tudor/Panerai/Omega and some others are not up to the duty, I just utilize less expensive options. OP, great looking watches.

Milgauss looks great - proper holiday looking vibe!

Not feeling the Sub as much. The black dial dragging the ‘sun vibe’ down for me. Not a particular fan of the model, but the Bluesy pic above edges the ‘Sub on sunny vacation’ look I reckon.

Great to see two Rolex’s taken on holiday though. A much better post than “am I safe to take my watch to ………?!?!

I just had a few days out in Portugal with one of my Rolex and the original old skool Summer Rubber option.

[brandrea]

Great option to have OP

Beautiful Milgauss. My son’s favorite color is orange, so I’m thinking of picking up that exact reference.

For me, my summer watches are an Omega SMP 300m on blue rubber, Tudor BB58 blue on Nato…and a simple Sub.

Milgauss... original clasp.
Submariner... I went with the tang, to make a quick swap easier!!!

Very nice! I’d probably do the same. Is the Sub your everyday when not on holiday?

Whatever it is that keeps these beautiful watches on wrist all year and 24/7 is positive in my view.

They look great OP.

As an FYI, I purchased mine with a tang buckle but replaced it with a butterfly deployant. Makes it easier to get on and off vs. the tang buckle.

No and it's not in everyday rotation in this config. Platinum DD40 gets the most time.

The maker of this one is no longer in business. However, there are plenty of others out there at reputable sites as well as Amazon. I install deployants on all of my straps that originally come with a tang buckle. I have one on not only my Bluesy, but my Omega Seamaster and Omega 50th Anniversary Snoopy - all from different manufacturers.
