Just like the title says....but no, not any pictures of an actual cartoon smurf and.....so I have picked up an Everest strap, blue in color just to change things up a little. Most of my inspiration came from our one and only Chad! So here are some pics of a smurf 116619 with a blue Everest rubber strap.

Yes, a little overloaded on the pics, but I had found limited pics of the 116619 with this strap, so in the future if someone was curious about the look, they now have a few to view.

looks good!

I just showed my wife the thread title and she died laughing. She has no idea that it referred to a strap on a watch! I think she was visualizing a Jimmy cap and a little blue man.

Nice! Looks good!

TickTockChuck · 3 March 2018, 08:30 AM

Looks very good! Never seen that combo before. Love the Smurf. Cheers!

PLNYC · 3 March 2018, 08:39 AM

I like it!

Chadridv · 3 March 2018, 08:41 AM

Love it! How does it feel on the wrist? Top heavy?

gregmoeck · 3 March 2018, 08:42 AM

makes it look like a Casio

hbombkid · 3 March 2018, 08:44 AM

Color looks really good and it’s a nice change, but would have gotten the version that takes the clasp.

Timetracker · 3 March 2018, 08:45 AM

Sharp.

Loevhagen · 3 March 2018, 08:45 AM

The only thing that bothers me is that the buckle has a whiter tint than the watch case - aka it doesn't match the watch.

Sarosh · 3 March 2018, 08:56 AM

Very nice! You didn’t want to go for the strap which can use the OEM glidelock clasp?

dr35mm · 3 March 2018, 09:38 AM

That’s a great look Nicholas. Congratulations!

Looks better than I thought it would.

JimSnyder · 3 March 2018, 10:19 AM

That works well

looks great but i would never do this to the smurf. pm needs to be on pm strap.

10klakes · 3 March 2018, 01:07 PM

The pics of it on the concrete made me cringe.
Interesting combo- not for me. Although I am a fan of Everest.

I like the combo! Do you like the weight difference?

Flyfisher · 3 March 2018, 01:34 PM

Nice watch.

Thread title creates disturbing images.

GFONG · 3 March 2018, 01:52 PM

Sorry. I prefer the WG PCL strap. It looks all blue and does not have any contrast.

So, I like the strap and the feel. Very soft rubber and easy to wear. It does diminish the watch presence if you will. It's a fun change for a bit, maybe if I am travelling in a beach resort, it's the perfect fit for a daytime beach/pool ...at night, the pcl bracelet is the way to go. Will this strap be used enough....I am not sure as I really love the watch on the bracelet. Anyway, a $200 experiment.....a lot less than what I have lost in the stock market recently!

I like the white Rubber-B strap for my Smurf :)
