From a pure aesthetic purpose croc wins by a mile. Depending on what you are going to be doing while wearing the watch the rubber may be more appropriate.

Croc, without a moments hesitation!
The difference is so great, I'm surprised you're even asking :poke:

Well I'm going to be the "voice of difference" on this one! Usually I'd go for croco everytime, but with the Flying Fish I think rubber is the way to go as it's more in keeping for a more dive-orientated watch. (IMO of course!).

Is the croc the correct size for the watch? I see a little bit of springbar which usually indicates your strap is too narrow for the watch lugs.

I would go for a croc as well unless you live in a hot/humid place like Florida. It's 84F right now, and I live in North Florida :)

"A house divided against itself cannot stand." Use both and switch up when you feel like it. Each gives the watch a different "feel," which is one of the nice things about Breitlings.

They both look good! The Croc is classy, Rubber sporty.
If it's your "beater" watch, then I would stick with rubber or a bracelet.

Normally I like rubber straps, but for some reason, here it looks boring. The croc looks more interesting. Must the contrast stitching.
