While I do fancy putting on an aftermarket straps on a Rolex, somehow I always go back to the bracelet quickly. I also rarely see anyone wearing a Rolex with aftermarket straps.
Maybe it cheapens the watch or it ruins the purity and intent of the original design. What's your opinion on this? |

I find the Rolex 5 digit bracelet quite bad in comparison to modern watches so I wear various straps with my sub.
I don't feel you can cheapen or change the purity of stainless steel mass produced watch. But each to their own. It's 20 yrs old nearly so I'm not too worried regardless. I keep the bracelet on my 6 digit Explorer as I don't think it suits a strap as well as the sub and the bracelet is actually good. �� Lovely strap btw. |

Vintage look strap on a modern black ceramic sub with no color coordination, doesn't mesh for me, then again I don't like anything besides the bracelet for sports Rolex

Initially I wanted a drunk arts strap but I’ve been on his waiting list for like 3 years. I found this guy through Etsy. His customer service is top notch; he lets you pick from various vintages and works on the measure, taper, etc. The finished product is awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
