Grey at last 🙂
Had my Great White for over 2 years and flip between bracelet and black rubber band quite often (also tried a nato but not for me). I don't mind the bracelet but it's not the best. I like the black rubber but there's always something I get tired of with that, which I think is that there's just too much black and white with it on. Maybe I'm just strange.
Anyway, I've always wanted to try a grey rubber strap (has to be curved - another quirk of mine) and there were surprisingly few choices, expensive or cheap. I found one and got this from Aliexpress today (you can actually get some great rubber straps from there) and will see how I get on with it. Looks great so far, IMO. Agree?

I've been rocking my white dial, black bezel gsar on basically that same tone of gray isofrane for months now, and I really like the look. It hasn't come off that strap since I got it. I'm a big fan of the black, white, gray trio, and both the SMP300 and the GSAR have a touch of red for an accent.
I would like the OEM green strap, but really can't justify the price. Will check Ali
Looks class 🤗
Looks fantastic. Honestly liked it in any of the straps you had on it. They grey is a home run! Doesn’t have a metal clasp as well?
This looks great! What strap is this exactly from Aliexpress? I’d love to try it out for my omega SMP 300.
I think that Seamaster looks good with any strap...
NATO looks awesome

I have it on an Omega deployant clasp.

I agree, it looks good. The weight distribution and bulk on side don't work for me.

Thanks so much! I’m curious to know from your perspective.. what do you think about these. Cheaper and look the same. But I guess you never know until you have it in person. Here’s the link:

You're right. But I've bought a few straps on here and I've found the cheapest ones were crap and don't fit well at the lugs. I would focus on those that say they are specifically for the model you have and say they are high quality. This is why I went for the FKM rubber one. Still over a tenth of the cost of an OEM, and I can't feel/see a difference in quality.
Looks good. It’s funny how we all have our quirks. I have the 43.5 Planet Ocean and usually keep it on the bracelet because I don’t like how the curved OEM strap feels against my wrist.
Been think of adding the Great White to the collection. Really nice piece.

Wow. I love that orange. Looks great on rubber and on bracelet.
