Inspired by Marc. LOL :D

Just wondering about others. I have a preference for rubber myself and then leather/exotic. But some watches are just right for a metal bracelet like say the Kenzo Nautilus or Gevril Seacloud.

How about the rest of you WIS? ;)

Same for me, although it does kinda depend on the watch.  If had a few divers I actually preferred on rubber...

For the most part metal...but, it really depends on the watch.

I like the SS for sure, rubber does not agree with my sweat glands, (maybe TMI?).

WHile SS will always be my favorite...  I am finding that i enjoy more and more of my watches on Rubber...  almost like I have a couple that I keep always on bracelet... and all the others go on Rubber/Kevlar or even leather...

I voted Metal, as I have always prefered metal bracelets, but recently I have been wearing my Doxa on a leather strap, and really like it. I think it's gonna be hard to go back.

Depends on the watch. Divers and other "sporty" stuff - silicone first, rubber second, SS third (because it never fits "perfectly" due to variance in wrist diameter as temp changes). Dress - leather.

Tricky...I was going to say metal but I find myself envisioning my watches in rubber more and more.  Go figure.  There seems to be a larger variety of stitching colours with rubber as well as rubber colours and hopefully more patterns will come out too.  I think I'm going to have to go with Rubber as my favourite choice of strap.
