Hi All

Can any tech proficient forum member assist?

I own a blue dial 38mm AT on the bracelet:



Love the watch and want to pick up one of the (ridiculously) expensive rubber straps.

You are somewhat limited in colour options at 38mm. There’s the blue, black and grey.

I can’t see any images online of the blue dial with anything fitted other than the blue rubber strap and would really appreciate it if someone could use their Photoshop skills to show my watch with the black and grey straps shown below:

 

No idea why there are multiple pictures being posted.

Apologies...

 

Not a great look, imo

 

Better:

 

That was fast!

Thanks. Much appreciated and I agree, black doesn’t look great and grey a little better.

The lightning in these stock images is never that reflective of the watches in normal conditions so maybe these straps would look better in person.

What I really wanted was the colour option in this one but they’ve limited it to the 41mm:

Thanks again. Very kind of you.

Black and blue - never a good combination. Sometimes rules are there to be followed

 

Well, that's not always true...

 

Is that point proven?

 

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder

 

Haha, just kidding. There’s always exception to the rules.

 

I always thought the same but Omega has produced blue dial / black strap watches in the past:



I actually owned that one a few years ago...

 

Also had this combo for a while:

 

Ok. Found an old Hirsch black rubber strap lying around...

What’s the verdict? Definite no to the blue on black or is this workable?



I’ve also got the same strap in a blue so could trial that option too...

My mom always said "If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all"

But seriously, do you like it? Cause that's the only thing that should matter!

 

Ha! Noted.

I suppose as is always the case in these situations, if you’re canvassing opinions on an online forum, then clearly you’re unconvinced about whether it looks right or wrong and that in itself probably points towards a “no”...

Particularly given the very expensive outlay required in this case if I was to go ahead and pick up the OEM rubber strap.

Cheers.

Well, it's not really the black+blue that doesn't work for me, the specific one in your latest photo is not a good look in my opinion.
The Photoshop rendering does look good BUT it's not guaranteed to look good in real life.

 

Ok thanks.

My feeling is that the OEM will look much better than the Hirsch as it’s integrated etc but it was the colour combo I wasn’t sure of.
