Grey ROO - Rubber or Leather?

Just curious... Do you think the 26470 looks nicer on leather or rubber?

I have one and it looks great on the rubber strap, but comes alive in a totally different way on the leather strap.

Gray rubber and diver tang is my favorite combo. I would do leather over black rubber.

wow both look equally fantastic, i voted leather because it looks unique

was considering this vs the safari and decided this was a bit plain... seem to have been proven wrong, there are certainly more strap options for this model

Black rubber looks really nice. That would be the route I would probably take as the leather original seems to dull the watch however that is subjective to personal taste.

Voted leather but...

There should be another choice on the grey dial -

On a bracelet - it's sick on a bracelet...

I prefer leather in this case. I also like the metal bracelet. For some pieces, the rubber is nice but in this case--- I prefer leather. The AP leather strap is unique and goes well with this watch

Rubber for me as I never warmed up to hornbacks and frankly why have leather on a sports piece? Kills the WR

I believe Aaron over at Combat Straps is going to be making straps out of that exact LV bag.

Still I say, probably rubber, if it is good rubber. And that gray rubber is awesome.
