Orange strap on 5168G Blue?

Anyone with a 5168 put on an orange strap? Would love to see pics

Blue and orange are complementary colors. Wearing them together makes each pop and stand out more. Whether that looks good or not is personal preference.

Not for me, but if you're from Denver, Boise or Edmonton??

Orange rubber strap on the Rolex 226570 white dial is my favorite use of an orange strap.

I’ve wanted to do this for awhile. Orange and blue should go well as they are opposite sides of the color wheel but that pic you posted was the same I found and didn’t look good. Also didn’t know about the quality and security of aftermarket straps so have just left it on the OEM blue strap. Was thinking maybe red or white could work better.

If you end up doing something share some pics!
