Travelterp 0 Posted May 5, 2016 Hello everyone. I bought a new watch for myself from Silix and decided to get the cheapie $39 blue sub for my 16 year old son. I don't have a good eye at all for what colors look good together or even what material. I know it's all an individual preference...but I'm asking for your opinion. What do you think would look good for a preppy 16 year old? I know I could easily ask him what he would like, but I would like to surprise him with it. Thanks in advance for the help!

Foxindebox 472 Posted May 5, 2016 A blue perlon would do the job. I have one on my gen seamaster and it would look nice on a sub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchDog21 3,345 Posted May 5, 2016 In the effort to keep cost down I would say a nice Perlon would suit it but not sure if that can be considered preppy. Other than that would be a Rubber B http://www.decowrist.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardMiami 4 Posted May 5, 2016 It's unanimous! Perlon blue - here is one on a blue Tudor: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travelterp 0 Posted May 5, 2016 I guess I should also ask... what size fits this watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abe Fromen 1,624 Posted May 5, 2016 I might have to get one of those for my blue snowflake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxindebox 472 Posted May 5, 2016 I guess I should also ask... what size fits this watch? I'm pretty sure it's 20mm... anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Travelterp 0 Posted May 5, 2016 http://www.decowrist.com/collections/our-products/products/perlon-strap-blue Thanks again. Does this look like the right one? I used the link maxpower provided. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted May 5, 2016 I'd go blue nato it's slightly more hard-wearing than perlon but the perlon does look awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted May 5, 2016 Another really good option is the blue rubber b linamarket do a good rep of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted May 5, 2016 In fact after looking up the rubber b in blue on a blue sub think that's my favourite look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchDog21 3,345 Posted May 5, 2016 http://www.decowrist...rlon-strap-blue Thanks again. Does this look like the right one? I used the link maxpower provided. I do not have any Perlon straps so maybe somebody can advise but that is indicating 18-20mm which makes me think that there may be a bit of a gap. My OCD would drive me nuts if that were the case.

Since the strap is soft I would consider getting the 22mm, tight fit and no gaps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted May 5, 2016 It's not as tightly woven as a nato so if you push it together it will get fatter and when you stretch it out it'll get thinner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
