Good idea... any brands you can recommend?

Green goes well with brown leather strap or black rubber strap

It shouldn’t be allowed with a rubber strap.

I would never in a million years put a modern PM piece on a rubber or leather. No way.

Rubber bands stink on Rolex. Just my thoughts. Wear the bracelet which is the whole point of the watch. Who cares about scratches. Just use common sense.

Doubtful but nobody will ever admit that. If I got my hands on this one, I would flip it like a pancake!

Thinking of putting it on a rubber strap to avoid scratching the bracelet. What color do folks think will look best? What is the best brand?

Thanks for the help! Pics to come once in-hand!
WOW - do NOT put the rubber band on it - sacrilege! Congrats!
