Black or White

Black or White rubber ? I thought since my GMTll on white was such a big hit I'd see what you thought about my SUB Yes the Crown on this one DOES point up.

Have to agree Black it is, however I have to admit I'm pretty partial to this Blue one also. Thanks to ETUR it's nice to be able to play around.

Well for me its rubber or nothing. I have wrist damage and wearing an Oyster is like wearing a clap. With an Oyster I can't wear my watches for more than an hour tops with these soft Rubber ones I can wear them all day.

No Problem Roger .I took no offense, however the rubbers are very comfortable, if you ever get a chance you might want to try one.I particularly like the 18 MM taper vs the 16 MM of the Oyster ,seems more proportionate to the watch .
