Rolex

Looks fantastic

This Milgauss has a much more understated and sober look now that it has undergone some rubber surgery!

May I ask what clasp you use for this strap?

The clasp I used...

is the one from the Milgauss. I had an option to choose the existing clasp or a tang.

I chose the clasp, of course. smile

Aloha,

Bob

I do love the Watch a lot, and the scenery as well. I am less fan of the strap. Ok, it is practical, it may be comfortable, but aesthetically, I am not sure...

A Nato can do the job in a better way, maybe?

But that is just my feeling.

Bravo for the Watch!

Best,

Nicolas

Hi, Nicolas,

Yes, a nato would do the job but I wanted something a little different, something to use the Milgauss clasp. At a quick glance, it kind of reminds me of a JLC(?).

I'll post more pictures of the strap and write a little blurb about it as it is somewhat softer, maybe more flexible, than most other rubber straps.

The nato may be closer than you think. smile

Aloha,

Bob

Aaah, if you want to use to Rolex Clasp, then you did the good choice.

As for the Nato, which one are you considering?

Ciao, my friend.

Damn nice dial! ;) Maybe a bit too technical, this strap, for such an almost Vintage? [nt]

Whoa! What a difference.

That is a great piece! The strap really pulls the sub dials to the forefront.

What are your thoughts about the strap and how long have you had it?

Aloha,

I think I prefer this one to the full gold one , have  had this for about 2 -3 years now

Here is a pic with all gold strap

I agree. I like it with the black.

Although some watches look great with gold, for the most part, I'm not an all gold kind of guy. It's just my own personal preference.

Aloha,

That strip of green and your green sapphire glass works well together!
Love your photos and passion. Thank you for sharing with us here

Yeah, I kinda like the green pinstripe.

And for the photos, I just used my iPhone.

Aloha Bob!

Those are nice pics, as if you're on an ECO project smile

Understand you want to use the clasp, if you can find a rubber strap with bigger band of green, will be even nicer... of course, NATO is a very good alternative as Nico mentioned.

Hope you're doing well.

I agree. A little bigger green stripe would be nicer. It's more pronounced in person.

Yes, I considered NATO straps but I also wanted something different, something "off the beaten track" per se. smile

But a few NATO straps may not be too far away. ;-)

I love these little tide pools and they're very close to my house. The black lava didn't come out as black as I wanted. Same with the green coral. But all the shots are form my iPhone. 

Aloha, my friend.
