I love my Ball Fireman but don't wear it as much as I would like during the summer months. In an effort to correct that deficiency I've slapped on a 22mm rubber oyster. My hope is I can use this more as an all purpose watch as its got 100m WR and a screwdown so I should be able to swim should the mood strike me. Would you? What do you think? Does this work or have I lost my mind?

I would swim in that watch no problem..........now the strap??? It does work for me buddy.....I would go with a smoother thinner look in rubber, maybe like this.................or something in blue for the summer. Attachment: 1202628701493-2055567816.jpg (Downloaded 101 times)

The rubber strap idea for summer is not a bad idea...but you selection shows you have truly terrible taste leading me to believe the watch was a gift...:D. Tony's example is much more in fitting with the classic lines of the watch...and now I must call the shrink to get that horrible, chunky image out of my head!!!!

That is OK and will pass but I agree with the others a flatter strap would likely do better and a blue rubber or black strap with blue stitch to set off the blue on the dial would really set it off. :) ;)

Thanks and good feedback. How about one of these? Supposedly waterproof leather. Anybody believe that? I would go with the blue accents stitching.

I think the blue stitching would look really good. I wouldn't go swimming with it though ;) What about a carbon fiber or kevlar strap?

CUZ ! I have a couple of those waterproof leathers and they work to a degree ...If you swim they will be okay but never look the same ....They also offer the same strap as the leather ones only in rubber ...I own a blue stitch rubber in 22 & 20 mm that looks the same as those leather ones you show , if you want to try it ? .........
