Grand Seiko series 9 case with curved rubber strap

Hey guys! first post here.. loving the community and vibes im getting from here. I've been looking through google images to see if anyones achieved the following but alas.. I've come up short.

Has anyone tried a curved rubber strap on the white birch or any GS series 9 case? I LOVE the look of the white birch and minamo and just thinking it would look awesome on a rubber strap with the integrated look.

Rubber straps look good on a diver/field/chrono on a dress watch is does look odd. But, IMHO if you picked up RubberB that looks like leather I think it will fit nicely.

You are 100% spot on! The bracelet doesn't taper Why? Come On GS you are so damned close to perfection on this watch! Rubber is my preference.  Rubber B or Maybe Crafter Blue? If it doesn't work out we can swap my Snowflake for the Birch LOL

Thanks for the input guys. I do see the new line as elegant sports watches like a Royal Oak or nautilus, given the large amount of brushed surfaces, flat bezel etc. Which got me thinking of the aquanaut look for this watch. Still have some hope that I will witness this combo!
