Question for Rose Gold Rubber clad owners...
Hello all,
I am thinking about picking up a rose gold rubber clad offshore and was wondering what different strap variations members have tried. I have been contemplating picking one up and adding a Don Ramon chestnut brown hornback with dark stitching as well as a 57th ave black hornback with creme stitching. Has anyone ever tried anything similar? Any opinions on what those combos might look like? Since I have neither the watch nor the straps I interested to here opinions from members. Thanks in advance!

I have seen different straps tried..
on the RGR but IMO the OEM rubber strap looks best with this watch. This is one of those cases where the original strap works but it's only my opinion.

I have tried.....
a black hornback(similar to the picture by hetins) and a rubens barrichello strap(forgot to take pictures) on mine, but ended up leaving it on the original rubber. I think that original look is the best for it. I would love to see it on the 57th strap, but I don't know if the glossy strap woukd clash with the matte rubber of the bezel and pushers. Good luck!!

As a reference..
I got this pic off a site some time ago (pardon the quality). Imo, while it looks quite cool on the carbon piece (I'm doing mine), it looks somewhat off on the RG version (been looking around too -for TA RG - and ended up leaving mine as is, in their standard rubber). Well anyway, i could just swap it around later, just need to buy the extra four RG studs to fix. Hornback with colored stitches may be cool alternatives for some versions, but simply won't work on others - don't like them on RB and JPM either. Best still to try them on watch first before buying. Good luck.
oopss..
Apology for the repetition in the picture summary. Not familiar with the image uploader yet. Could Mr.moderator please delete those please.. Thank you.
Where can I get it?
Anyone know where one could find a 57th strap? Best I could find is proxy from AP bands. Anyone tried that?
