SD43 strap question

[GT500]

So obviously I love my bracelet but I do like to switch things up from time to time. Has anyone tried something different and how do you like it?
Thanks!!

The bracelet on this watch is 100% perfect. No way am I EVER witching to nato, rubber, or anything else. Nooooooooooo way!

There is a thread on rubber b being available for the SD43 if you want to see what it looks like

Yeah I was disappointed on what they came up with.

I wasn't thrilled either

I remember watching a youtube review of the SD43 and he said something like "don't insult this watch by putting it on nato or rubber..." and I have to agree with that. If the bracelet wasn't so spot-on perfect maybe... But they just nailed the bracelet

Without a doubt the bracelet is the best out there.

No reason to look further for this one in my opinion...

I thought the rubber b looked nice, just not thrilled that the only choice is to you your own clasp.

After having owned several rubber b and Everest straps, using the original deployant clasp is my preferred way to wear a rubber strap. (Obviously there’s no right or wrong preference)

In my opinion, it gives it a much more oem feel, it becomes much more of a pleasure to take on and off, and I just don’t like that look of the strap tail.

I like the look of the rubber b with red accents a lot.

I have a RubberB on my Panerai...looks great. IMO the Rolex Oyster should not be switched. It is really part of the watch to my eye. Without it, it doesn't look like a Rolex.

Would like a full red and a full yellow rubber strap with tang. Just end it with the thickness tapering out right. Hopefully rubberb will get a full line up sorted out soon.

I’ve had mine on an isofrane, a bonetto cinturini, and various natos and zulus. Currently on great nato from Toxic Natos with shoulderless spring bars and the lock-up is solid and watch is going nowhere. I like a strap over the bracelet for activities...swim, surf, workout....it needs to have some flexibility and stretch or will drive me crazy. The sd43 is a workhorse and I love it.

Hmmm how will you remove shoulderless spring bars when you’re ready to mix it up again?

I prefer the steel bracelet. I have some other watches with rubber straps if I get the urge.

Im very happy with the rubber b strap. I think it was well executed and the fit is perfect. I agree with the majority about the oyster bracelet being number one but the rubber is a fun quality option that doesn't bother me at all.

Nice pics. I do like the way that looks, but prefer Oyster. I like the red inside the strap....and the oem buckle. How hard was it to swap...dealer do it?

Best left as is me thinks.

I really like this! Too bad the XL doesn’t fit my wrist. It’s nice to switch up from time to time.

I did it myself I posted on another discussion. I didn't have any issues probably
5 minutes total. Used Bergeon screwdriver set and pin tool.

I had tried it on Rubber and Leather and tend to agree it is not an ideal strap watch.
