This strap arrived today - a bit of adjustment, a quick flick of the Xacto to get it to slip thru the 401B TT end pieces and here it...wicked comfy.

I expect I'll wear it like this a lot.

Leather strap ? Who said leather strap ?

That honey hand stitch looks great with the root beer insert, George!

Here are my 2 on a strap. Although I dont wear them very often on straps.

This is wear Rolex needs to step up....and finish between the lugs in.....how can I say this

This is where attention to detail warrants the big bucks for a Rollie, not the second rate press marks that stamped out the case. The don't even finish or polish between the lugs. They hide it with the end link and hopes nobody see's it. C'mon Rolex......
cheers

I think the leather on DD has a classic look to it and the white stitching goes with the dial.
no need to change it.

I love the look of the Daytonas on leather straps, as long as you have a metal bracelet handy for every day wear, I think when you slap on the leather band, it is a really nice "Going Out" look!

Hello Gentlemen, i am looking to purchase a replacement bracelet for my 2008 Rolex Datejust. I am keen in getting a factory Black Leather Strap with genuine Rolex Deployment clasp? Please advise if anyone may know where i can get the set? Many thanks!

Thanks for the re-direction guys... some really outstanding combos here! I especially like the grey carbon fiber pictured above. I didn't want to go with more black. That's why I was seriously considering the medium brown leather (for the winter months here in N.E.), but I have to admit the grey carbon fiber looks like the perfect combo.

CKLinLA · 31 January 2010, 02:53 PM

Quite a few Rolex look good on straps. I especially like the brown leather
with Explorer II White Dial shown by a couple of members.

I have a DayDate and a Perpetual Date on black and dark brown leather
straps respectively:

ParisDakarBmw · 31 January 2010, 03:11 PM

I think the Rolex is a little more versatile than we give it credit for. The leathers look very good!

Spot on Paul, I think the DJ and DD look great on leather. I have popped my DJ on leather years ago, just to save a bit of wear and tare on the jubilee band. I never did that with the DD but I love the look of the YG DD on leather too.

I still absolutely love Dan's GMT on that leather!!!!!!!

Hi

My first post but have been lurking for quite a while - great forum! I tried to get an original black leather strap from rolex for my explorer I but RSC wouldn't sell me a strap because explorer I was never issued by rolex with a leather strap! What size lug is it (19 or 20mm?) cos I'm thinking of bringing in my 1970s DJ to see if they'll sell me the strap (since I have seen DJ with leather straps in their catalogue) - would the strap fit both the explorer I and DJ?

Where did you get your strap? It looks nice and thin, which is what I'm after.

Many thanks for any advice.

jdbob · 25 March 2010, 08:44 PM

Im definitely a fan of the sub-on-leather.

jatco · 26 March 2010, 10:21 AM

..Some of these pieces on Leather look Fantastic.. Dresses then up further and allows the timepiece to shine...and not get distorted by the 'bracelet.
Some fine examples of options ...!
.
too many to mention..!

That's a "Bund" strap, if I'm not mistaken. Or a variation of it. Not to be mistaken for "Bond"!

RLXSTR · 31 March 2010, 06:32 AM

Here is another photo of my DateJust on the right with the Bordeaux Red Crocodile Italian strap. Keeping it company for the moment is a '64 18K Oyster Perpetual with a Gray Dial on the left and a '79 14K Gold Shell Date model in the middle with a brown lizard strap.
