For some reason, I like bracelets on all Rolexes (except Cellini).

I really like the look of the RG chocolate on strap but at the end of the day it's an oyster case so I would want the bracelet for pool/shower etc

Yep that's the exact model I love on strap. On bracelet I prefer the yg with silver dial.

I too like the choco dial but on bracelet is best, becomes a bit top heavy on strap.

Black dial, WG and black leather croco strap just oozes class. I love it.

That'd be my pick.

Both are extremely soft on secondary, but go with what you like more and enjoy it.

Bracelet though all day for Rolex IMHO.

The rolex bracelet is part of the big reason I am so attracted to the brand. It's bracelet is so distinctive. Bracelet without a question for me.

I got it on the strap because rubber b was releasing a rubber strap. After wearing it for a while it is pretty heavy to be worn on strap. Should've went with bracelet instead

I was a little disappointed in these.

The Daytona with endlinks and rubber b is my favorite aftermarket strap look, I was expecting something similar. Somethings off for some reason with these.

I prefer rubber or leather over bracelet but when it comes to Rolex I prefer bracelet. However, I wouldn't turn down a rubber SKY DWELLER at all

Owned the strap RG - to big a watch for a small strap - bracelet would be my choice if I were to do it again
