I know in the end it comes down to personal preference, but do you guys think rubber straps make breitling's look cheap? Technically, they are cheaper... but but looks.

Thanks

The Diver Pro an Ocean Racer are the ones I'm talking about, just to clear any confusion.

My opinion is that if you like the look of it go for it!

I actually like the Ocean Racer strap better than all the others.

I prefer rubber straps on almost all of my watches. I like the OR better than the Diver Pro II, but the OR is just WAY overpriced... :shock: I also like NATO's better than bracelets. :wink:

For me, it's bracelet in the spring and fall, leather strap in the winter, and rubber strap (or carbon strap, too bad Breitling doesn't make them anymore :( ) in the summer, or when on vacation.

"Options" is the keyword. I currently have only 1 Ling, so I try to make the most of it. :lingsrock:

I'm not a fan of the diver pro, but the OR deployant is awesome looking. I have the new bentley rubber on deployant and i love it. Alot of people think that rubber shouldn't be near a B4B, but i personally love it. :lingsrock:

Here's a couple of pics

Wait, is that strap specifically for B4B? Or is it a new Diver Pro or something? Cause I prefer the old ones! Hope they don't discontinue them...

That's not DPII, think that this strap is just for Bentley.

I have to agree that the rubber straps are a bit more comfortable,
but they do make a watch look cheap.
Kind of like wearing sneakers with a tuxedo. :shock:
