Rolex 116610LV (Hulk) on Leather Strap.

Wife gifted me an Everest gift card so I decided to change up my Submariner a bit.

Your thoughts..........

Haven't seen that before. The colour combo looks quite good!

Different strokes and all, but looks very wrong for my tastes.

Not a good look imo.
The tan strap ‘clashes’ with the green.
If you like it go for it and enjoy. Its all a personal taste and would be boring if we all liked the same.

I would leave it on the bracelet much better than the strap. If you really like it go for it. (Down to personal taste)

when I read the title I thought I would like this. After seeing the pictures it is a definite no for me.

You will learn from this. Never ask this crowd how a modern sub looks on a strap....

There is no reason for this combination to work.

Sorry looks awful. Maybe lighter colour, slightly distressed leather.

OP if you like it that’s all that matters. Most of the members here are more purists so you probably won’t get much love.

I think the color of the stap is fine and works with the green. The problem is with the end link style strap. Go for the one without the end links and I think it will look much better.

Not a fan of the color. I like the green band. The black band and the white band for hulk. But if you like it forget everyone else !!

It just doesn’t work. The combo of the hulk and the brown strap is just doesn’t work.
Only a person would bad taste would prefer it that way.

Show a picture of it on your wrist. Seeing it full length isn't always the best in my opinion. Please take a few of you wearing it :)

Love the watch, but not on the leather.

Watches are so personal, so wear what you enjoy and be happy.

I'm an advocate for changing up the look of a Rolex with a strap, but that combo, just doesn't seem to work. Sorry.

I think the green Everest rubber works better with the hulk

I like the idea of switching it up. Can we see a wrist shot with it actually on? Don’t think I am liking this combo, but I like my Sub on a NATO and many people hate that...it’s all up to you and your personal taste
