Rubber Strap....
Hi Bill
Thanks for the compliments. Actually most people tell me the Marine looks nicer on rubber strap and the bracelet clashes with the sporty looks.
However, I prefer steel bracelets to rubber and hence focused on the bracelet pieces (same for AP RO, VC Overseas, etc).
I did try the rubber strap Marine too. For me, as my wrists are small, the black rubber didn't suit me that well. The Marine has long lugs which almost made the watch wear too large for me (the case diameter is ok but the lugs almost extends out of my wrist). The rubber, being black in color, contrasts sharply with the long steel lugs (being shiny silver in color). Hence, I won't consider the black rubber strap for this Breguet Marine.
Now for rubber straps.... I really like the VC Overseas on rubber! Esp the titanium bezel ones.... See picture (I tried both on too).
If I want a "rubber strap" theme for my next watch, these VC Overseas are the top of my list now.
cheers,
robin
