Which Rubber B Strap for D-Blue DSSD?

So I just purchased my new D-Blue DSSD (Very excited!) and I want to get a Rubber B Strap. I am torn between 3 options:

1. Jet Black Plain Rubber
2. Jet Black/Pacific Blue VulChromatic
3. Jet Black/Forest Green VulChromatic

I just ordered a Jet Black/Pacific Blue VulChromatic for my BLNR GMTII so I am sort of hesitant to order the same one but it might look the best.

The green idea came to me because the green "Sea Dweller" text on the D-Blue dial, but not sure if that would look good.

Plain old jet black is also an option but think it might look plain.

If anybody has some pic of the RubberB on their D-Blue I would love to see.

And share your opinion, which would you choose?

Cheers,
Mike

The vulchromatic series for the dssd? I may be looking incorrectly, but I only see a solid black option and a solid red option for the dssd.

You are correct. There is no vulchromatic version for the DSSD.
The OP was so excited he forgot he's looking at the strap for the SD. ;)

Good catch

I plan on using the SS bracelet but also like variety (I started as a Panerai guy ) so only 2 straps for a watch is a huge change up for me.

I am ordering the VulChromatic Black/Blue for the BLNR and the Black for the D-Blue DSSD. Most of you have seen pics of my BLNR and Z Dial Milgauss already. Will post pics of D-Blue when it arrives tomorrow and then pics of BLNR and D-Blue on rubber when they arrive :)

What tools do I need to order to change straps, clasps?

Every Rolex looks its best with its original bracelet.

Seen pics with black and it looks great! The way the band is tapered to fit around the lugs IMHO makes rubber b look better on DSSD than any other watch

black or red for black DSSD, only black for blue/black DSSD.

I like the red on the all black DSSD but the all black Rubber B would look best on the D Blue.
Congrats on the addition!
