Where are my baseball & rolex fans at?

Okay, got this idea from another thread http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=517717

What do you guys think of this as a baseball game watch strap for my 16710? Love it or hate it? What would you think if you saw this at "your yard" on opening day?

I like it because the red on white looks like the stitching on a baseball in a way, and I'm a traditionalist with the red and blue of the MLB logo.

I'll check the "almost there" box. I like the change up, but would want to lose the red stitching (the white with red make me think of the Red Sox home colors ).

But, you being from SF, I'm not seeing much orange/black or green/white/yellow?

lol yeah, well I like it because the red on white looks like the stitching on a baseball in a way. And I'm a traditionalist with the red and blue of the MLB logo. I have my Omega PO orange for when I want to sport my "colors."

OP
Would not the strap get soiled and would not see red as well?
For baseball, are you playing, coaching, proud parent sitting in bleachers?

White is not a color for a band in my house, but, of course, if you are into matching, it is your dollar, your decision, and your presentation. Life is short. Enjoy!
Blessings, DM

It's ok. Other than the Oyster bracelet, I like the look of a nice brown distressed leather strap.

I would prefer to see a re-cycled baseball glove with some black print from a Rawlings or Wilson, now that would be super cool!!!

However, I know you heart is in the right place

If you're going for the baseball look I would try something like this:

If you wanted to put it on just to wear to the ballpark then sure, otherwise I would pass on the strap.

Who else is counting down until Opening Day?
