I like it.

I wear my 14060 on a NATO and tried it back on the bracelet - lasted a day and back to the NATO.

For my weekly work wear a strap is good.

For me, it cheapens the look of the watch.

If I owned a BLNR or BLRO, I would purchase a SubC brushed oyster bracelet with Glidelock.

Sorry, but color doesn’t look right. I would rather put a black band if I had to use a rubber band.

I could go either way on it. Certainly not for all occasions but maybe in the more active state I think it’s cool

Rock it man! Despite poular belief on here it doesn’t cheapen the watch... rubber is comfortable, and the oyster isn’t the end all be all of watches... that’s why other straps are made

ohhh, not what I expected. That is a big strong no for me.
A real strong no from the core. A black Rubber B is preferred but this is a bracelet watch.

be they watches or cars, i like stock only, no modifications, add ons, or omissions,

my idea to protect my gmt strap would be to wear my timex which has a strap like yours, when there could be potential damage,

the strap is a major part of a rolex, why compromise on what you bought?

Ruins the watch for me. The bling of the PCL is one of the attractions of BLNR package. Take that gorgeous bracelet off and replace with a rubber piece? Not for me.

I love BLNR however that blue band makes it to look like a toy or a cheap fake

You may certainly do as you wish, but if it doesn’t matter what others think, why post up here and ask their opinions?

Danny, it’s your watch.

Bracelet, NATO, Rubber B, Everest blue - black - pink - green - choose a colour.

Your watch - your choice - change up - change down.

You always have the original bracelet.

Accept the other opinions for what they are.......

Looks good. I always prefer the metal but the blue is a nice change.

Looks like a fashion watch to me now, not a Rolex

Not for me.

Although it's well integrated, the look of the Everest rubber straps looks too cheap to me.

I would definitely avoid it, it looks cheap and not stylish at all.

It’s just hard to replace the oyster bracelet. It’s not they it looks bad. It just doesn’t look as good as it would with the bracelet.
