I put my Omega SMP on a rubber strap. If you search Omega in the FS section you'll some that come with the SS bracelet and rubber!

AP ROO no doubt. But lately the new GP Hawk line of dive watches and chrono has caught my attention.

The PP Aquanaut 5167A is one of the best in a rubber strap IMHO;

Whats better than than that? How about the 5167R?

Well for me you cannot beat the ones from Citizen and Seiko my Citizen Aqualand 11 was with me for many dives after losing a SD in the red sea.I used and abused that rubber strap underwater for a few years and now well over 9 years old and still good today.

AP Diver or Novelty.
For a lower price bracket I love the IWC Mission Earth.

AP, Omega (SMP and PO in particular) and the Aquanaut have my vote, others are very nice but to me those are the nicest ones.
