Show me some alternative Sub straps please?

What looks good?
I like the first one here: https://bulangandsons.com/tudor-heritage-black-bay... as under, but have no idea what it is and neither do Bulang...
This NATO looks good too, from DeLucaStraps...
[url]What have you chosen for your diver, for a bit of a change?
Are we just supposed to ignore that the sub doesn't have the bezel lined up properly?
Although I keep going back and forth with my sub, I like the idea of a rubber strap (always hoping that Rolex release the oysterflex) but just trying to find a decent set of tools to DIY the bracelet/clasp removal for a rubber B strap on my ceramic.

'73 Submariner on Leather Zulu Nato
Sub on JPM Vintage
Sea Dweller on Hadly Roma Cordura
Sea Dweller on Hirsch Pure Orange Rubber
Sea Dweller on Sailcloth Strap from Mr Sailcloth in Singapore.
Of all of these which i've rotated with, the sailcloth stap is absolutely awesome quality. It is permanently on the Sea Dweller now. Super comfortable, a tough and durable canvas, thick but very flexible. I cannot recommend Mr Sailcloth highly enough if you are after that kind a strap. I tried a 'sailcloth effect' strap from Brady Straps - utter crap. it was embossed leather, not waterproof, and the finish on the strap was garbage. The Hadly Roma Cordura is also of really high quality. Again, highly recommended.
I like a fabric strap but can't get on with the increase in height and the folds that a nato brings.
You can get a similar nylon style as a one piece normally referred to as an "RAF" or I use a perlon fabric strap as per the above. I really like them and think they are most comfortable strap I have ever used.
I alternate between the perlon and the bracelet.

Liking the black, or grey, light or dark...
I have one of these on my Sub Date at the moment:

Price has gone up since I paid a heady £3.49 for mine!
Absolutely love it (have the bracelet on my DS and GMTII)

Cheaper here, with free pins and tool, and an eBay seller I've bought a few good NATOs from before: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20mm-curved-ends-rubber-...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Curved-End-PU-Rubber-Wat...

Does the rubber pick up dust? How well do the curved ends fit the Sub case? Can you post a pic or two?
There are some pics on another thread but I'll see if I can grab some more tomorrow.
Strap doesn't seem to pick up dust/ dirt, is very comfortable and the curve fits the case well.
Honestly; I bought it (2nd one, as the first is on a Seiko) after my then puppy chewed an expensive one and have never looked back. I like the way my 3 quid strap dresses down my Sub and it's probably my most worn watch of the last 2yrs, although the SD on the bracelet is my current daily.
Cheap enough to try once and bin if you hate it... though the same can probably be said of a Nato.

Sorry Doc, I think that's ruined the look of the Milgauss.
I can't get my head around the look of these aftermarket NATO straps, they just look so... Heath Robinson?!
Don't mind some of the rubber straps on a diver but I still think Rolex got it right with the steel bracelet.
I'm trialling it! Got a Bergeon, try a new strap each mood change... I can't get my head around the look of these aftermarket NATO straps, they just look so... Heath Robinson?!

It's been 7 years on the Oyster bracelet so a change was worth trying

I don't see the Milgauss as a sports watch though so it's got to be on a bracelet for me, nice to be able to change the look so cheaply though I guess.
Thought about a rubber strap?
