Doesn't do it for me...

1kw · 10 January 2014, 12:22 PM

A jubilee might look ok, the leather ruins the look to me.

Andad · 10 January 2014, 12:29 PM

I quite like it just for a change up look.

Its not like you are marketing them is it?

It saves wear on the bracelet and is lighter for everyday.

There are some rubber B straps with a custom lug shape that look ok and would make the strap package more 'waterproof'.

The blue alligator with the blue dial, doesn't jive. I really don't like blue leather. I think a nato or maybe a brown or suede strap would be better.

hardel · 10 January 2014, 02:40 PM

The strap is gorgeous! But it doesn't match the watch. Sorry! For the longest time I wanted a blue alligator strap on my op no date. Never got around to it.

Like it. Go.

What about rubber/silicon strap rather than leather?

This is from Everest... They are perfect fit and you can fit it straight onto your original clasp.

(Sorry I don't have a TT to show you the effect but check out the blue dial and the strap, it is almost a perfect color match!)

For TT clasp.. (Sorry this is not the blue strap and this is on a GMTIIC)

just changed mine to rubber B blue strap

Dbrasco · 10 January 2020, 07:01 AM

First post at the forum :-)
But maybe someone have a tip where i can find good quality end links for a 16613. Would like to try a leather strap on my sub and i like the new look the end links do for the watch.

Tangier11 · 10 January 2020, 07:50 AM

I think it would look much better with a rubber strap that fits to the case

DLRIDES · 10 January 2020, 07:54 AM

IMO

Six digit subs need end links on leather due to to the disproportionate case design.

Its a dive/sport watch so I would put on a blue rubber strap if you wanted a change but not a dressy leather crock strap.

^^ To OP, this! Bluesy with a matching rubber strap looks great and functional. Much better choice than a this leather strap in my opinion.

It might be classified as a dive sport watch....but, the TT sub on bracelet is more a dress watch IMO. So, on the blue croc it looks dressy too...I see no problem and actually like it!

While I respect your opinion, from someone who owns a few TT Rolex sport models, they are not a dress watch. They can certainly do “dressy” and go with anything (wore my TT black Sub with a tux at my wedding) or look equally great in jeans. A leather finished, shiny crock strap is solidly designed to be on a dress watch and IN MY opinion, looks like a saddle on a sow i.e. doesn’t belong.

What’s great is it doesn’t matter what we think. If the OP likes it, I’m happy for him.

RyanJ · 10 January 2020, 08:24 AM

If you are doing leather, it needs to be a thicker leather strap. A dress strap doesn't look right.

Bagman · 10 January 2020, 10:52 AM

It’s your watch. Do what you want. It’s easy to switch them out.

BigBoy17 · 10 January 2020, 10:55 AM

No.. heck no... hell no

watchmework · 10 January 2020, 11:24 AM

That’s a big no for me, sorry.

Likestheshiny · 10 January 2020, 12:07 PM

it works for me. Definitely much more understated than the two-tone bracelet (which is a bit of an acquired taste).

But then, I wear my GMT on a black croc strap, so clearly I like this look in general.

sambb · 10 January 2020, 12:30 PM

go blue rubber. done

dchernikoff · 10 January 2020, 12:36 PM

No, for two reasons:

1) The color of your strap doesn't match the blue of the dial/bezel.
2) The TT bracelet is gorgeous, why wouldn't you want to wear it??

But if it makes your wife happy, do what you must!

carsandwatches · 10 January 2020, 01:16 PM

The only alternative to the already amazing TT bracelet is Rubber B - Pacific Blue period.

bezler · 10 January 2020, 05:08 PM

Lugs are just too wide for the strap. Sorry, but normal straps just don't look good on the super case.

I like the bluesy best on a bracelet, so I’m not a fan of leather straps. I’ve seen a few nice looking rubber straps though.
