Blue Leather Strap for Blue Dial Sub
At first, I liked this blue leather strap. Then my daughter said it was gay and my wife said it was pimpish. So I guess I will pass on this.
What do you guys think? |

Listen to the women in your family. I think they have good fashion sense.

Well I'm not gay or a pimp, not that there is anything wrong with that. But what do you think of this? I thought I would never take the bracelet off of my blue baby, but I did. Not sure if I like it or not but will give it some time. Maybe a good summer watch. By the way, my wife always loved this watch on the bracelet and I did get a few complements now and then. She also likes it like this.

The ladies are right.
Looks all wrong. I'm not a fan at all of Rolexes on straps but that one is hiddeous IMHO. |

First one is when pimping. Second when gay.

I don't hate the leather nor the rubber band but I would personally prefer to see slightly darker ones instead. Still it doesn't look bad, it actually gives the watch an original look.

I'd have to go with the ladies on this one too sorry. I don't know though maybe you can pull it off with a light coloured suit? You're kind of restricted with what you could wear with it. I think because it is significantly lighter than the bezel blue it looks a bit...y'know? girlyish.

I rather like it, but I would also try a blue strap without the end links to compare
