Got a B01 from George @ Govbergs, mounted on a bracelet (stunningly blingy)

Were on vacation in Florida, and mounted a rubber (works well IMO)

Back home in Sweden, the steel is very cold(in wintertime) so I picked up a Croc....

Nice stuff :-)

I love that watch!!! I prefer the steel bracelet though, never been a big fan of leather straps.

I think I may like it on the croc over the bracelet. It matches and accents the dial but also contrasts and enhances the steel as well. Good choice. Very nice.

Think I prefer it on the Croc as well 8)

Always preferred the Chronomats on leather as well. Seems to focus more attention on the watch head

Really great looking watch! The bracelet looks good but I like the look of the diver pro. I think I maybe becoming a rubber strap fan I think certain models and dial colours really go with the diver! I'm getting a little worried I used to hate rubber straps now I find myself looking at things like b01 s and blackbirds and actually wanting to buy them on rubber! Lol

Thanks for posting the pics; I haven't seen a B01 on a croc yet. I was actually contemplating picking up a strap for mine, but I think I'll stick with the bracelet for now. I don't dislike the strap, I just think the B01 looks nearly perfect on a bracelet. Your dial color was my second choice. It's a beautiful piece!

Looks great on all three, but I prefer the croc, which is what I have on my newly acquired B01. Guess I should post some pics too...
