Looking for rubber strap opinions on a B-1. Which do you think looks better?

Ocean racer with deployant?
Diver II with deployant?

Polished or brushed finish?

I have a black dial B-1 so I would be looking at a black rubber strap.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

Guy

Diver Pro II all the way, not a fan of the Ocean Racer's holes.

A strap should not be convoluting a watch's design. Go simple and sound.

That combo works very well, I have my slate B1 on it at the moment.

The Pro II is extremely comfortable and soft. I have both and I like the more sportiness of the ocean racer on some watches and the DPII on others. Both are great in my opinions. DPII is a more flexible strap that can be worn in more situations.

I agree as well on the Diver Pro II, I bought one for my Chrono Shark and I am 100% satisfied with it, very confortable and fits great on my wrist, you can see a couple of pics I took if you want :
