Icon5 I prefer my Sub on a Leather or SS band?

Took the leather strap off my watch today, got the SS band on & Luv it!

I have had a leather Rolex band on my 16610LN Sub and stopped wearing it as much. Something about the weight of the SS band and the way the watch feels I it like better.

IMO leather has no place on a Sub, SS bracelet, NATO, or rubber should all be options from Rolex. At one time rubber was.

I had a NATO - which I love - on my GMT for a long time. Once I switched back to the metal band, it was love at first sight.

I voted SS, but to me it depends on the Sub. Vintage I'd go leather/nato, otherwise SS/rubber.

X2. While reading the title of this thread, this was my immediate thought!

I prefer the stainless although I've seem some really sweet vintage Subs on distressed leather.

mfer: Where's the rubber option?

We can only offer 4 options on a Poll or I would have included rubber too.

MODS: Perhaps you may consider 5/6 options for Polls? They don't all have to be used but it would give more opportunity for everyone to participate in some polls that need more choices.

Only 93% for the steel, thought it would be far more.

Buy a Casio G shock if you like rubber or a G10 military watch if you prefer a NATO. They both look hideous on a Sub. IMO of course.
