Submariner on white or orange rubber

I'm contemplating on which Everest rubber strap to get and was hoping for pictures of submariners/GMT on white or orange rubber straps to help me decide. There aren't that many good pictures on a Google search. Thanks!

There might be a reason for that.

I have seen one on a orange strap. It looks ok if you can pull it off. But.....it just looks OK. Not worth the time or money. Imo.

I like both but only want one. I know that I can pull it off. However, if you don't mind, this thread can do without the negativity from those who don't like them at all.

A few pics pop up with the orange rubber. I know Rubber B and Everest have displayed that combination. I had a white Rubber B on my white Daytona, great summer look.

If I recall a few members have had the orange on Subs so hopefully they chime in.

I'm sure it's a cool look.

If I had to pick I'd say white because at least it will match some white on the dial. But the look is really not for me. Nothing can beat the ouster bracelet.

Orange and black go together. Rolex has already proven that. Give it a shot!

I'm leaning towards the white but I'm afraid of it staining. Thoughts?

Scroll through Everest's instagram feed and you'll see a bunch of pictures of the sort your after.

Search #everestbands or @everestbands in Instagram. I saw some Subs and GMTs there on orange and white rubber straps earlier today.

I think @Loevhagen on instagram has plenty of cool shots of the orange everest on 114060. It looks great!

I have mine on a black everest and the comfort is undeniable. I also have residual scratch-fright so it helps in that regard as well.

For what it's worth, I recently picked up a white rubber strap for my Panerai for the summer. I'm happy with it. it's a hirsch, so, the price is right, too.

I wear my beater SXK007 on an orange NATO on occasion. I think it looks good. Makes for a super casual summer watch. Maybe try a $15 NATO first and if you like it can go for a Rubber B or something more expensive

Tried that experiment with my Panerai. Didn't wear it like that often.

Not for me personally. Not a horrible summer look if you wear a lot of neon colors .

Beautiful pics by Mr. Loevhagen.

Subs go better with White Rubber instead of orange.
Orange Rubber only in Exp II.

Orange strap is always ok for dive-oriented gear, so on a Sub is fine. On a Polar Exp II the orange looks stunning.

I'm really surprised about how good that white strap looks.
