Went in leather came out Rubber!

Well I bought the rubber strap for my 41mm Rose Gold Chrono a few months ago and Finally decided to put it on. Thanks to Brian Lau he also taught me a trick about the way you put the straps on. Instead of doing it the traditional way where the clasp is facing you I swapped it so the clasp is facing away and wears a million times more comfortable! Wish I had known this earlier and would have swapped it a long time ago.

Enjoy the pics.

does it scratch easily? I can't make up my mind between the royal oak chrono in rose vs steel

Steel will scratch also. IMO, it's a nobrainer. Go gold!

Beautiful beautiful watch. If you can, and if it's able to fit, I'd also buy the RG bracelet too. Changes the look again and it's stunning!

Looks great. Rubber is hard to beat for comfort, especially on high-weight pieces like this.

That AP is beautiful. To my eye, respectfully, it belongs on a leather strap. The rubber, again to my eye, detracts from the sheer elegance of the watch. Just my opinion.

I think I prefer it to the leather but a bracelet would be tops. Then again, it f ing well should be for the premium
