Help - Which Strap looks better?

[tracyl]

Just got this Blacksteel Avenger from an RWI forumite, and can't decide which looks better. Just want some different eye balls to see which combo looks better to them. What I think would look the best is a leather strap with red stitching, but not sure they make this as a rep. Or maybe an Ocean Racer would look better? I'd trade someone the pro II rubber for a ocean racer(22mm) if anyone wanted.

I like the leather more, but the rubber looks well made.

I agree about the red stitching leather, but of these two, I like the rubber.

Like them both!! Leather for a suit and rubber for casual. JMO tho. Great watch

Leather....

Leather, all the way

I'm not in love with either choice. Went through the same thing myself..

Just got these bracelets in, look awesome on the blacksteel.

And I may have one or two generic ocean racer straps left in stock.

are those bracelets available in 24mm for the super avenger matey?

Yep.

Oooh, I like that with the black steel bracelet! I would think it would look good with the ocean racer strap as well.

The Blacksteel looks awesome on dark brown leather strap or anthracite.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I still think it will look best on an ocean racer. Dan, I might contact you for one of the generic ocean racers just to see how it looks. Thanks everyone!

I really love it on the pro2 rubber personally, its a tough watch and looks the business on that. Have an Ocean racer on my SA blacksteel and really don't like it, would love to have the pro 2 rubber instead, ideally the deployment version.

Rubber, no... wait... Blacksteel all the way. Damn, now I have to get me a Breitling...

For that, I'd go for the leather or OR. But this one is a killer:

I like the rubber the best. It just suits the sporty look of the blacksteel.

Lately I've been wearing it on the Pro II rubber with deployment and I'm really starting to warm up to it. Doesn't look that good with business casual attire, but looks great with a t-shirt and jeans. I ordered a cheap $15 ocean racer just to see how it will look on it. I'll take some pics once I get it. Thanks for all the comments!

I finally decided on an Ocean Racer with deployment. To me this looks the best. What do you think?

Looks very sharp! I think there is a dark pvd deployant available also

Looks great on the OR band. I just rec'd mine today from puretime and love it. The quality of the deployment clasp is amazing.
