19 mm Italian Leather straps for vintage Rolex?

[adaltadc]

Hello,

I just purchased a 34mm Oyster Perpetual Date, fits a 19mm. I really want to get a nice Italian leather vintage strap, but most of the ones I have found are either 18mm or 20mm.. Does any one have any suggestions for a good dealer / site?? Will the 20mm fit well?

Thanks!

I hope we're not breaking any rules here by posting about our business. We are a strap company and have a few 19mm straps on our site. A 20mm strap won't fit if the lug width is 19mm. You could force it to fit, but it will deteriorate rapidly as it rubs against the lugs. We also have a Made To Order service, so can produce any of the straps in our collection in 19mm, if you're happy to wait.

Good selection here:

But I think both Bulang and also Hodinkee get their straps here:

I have several vintage/authentic Rolex leather straps which are all NOS. Various leather types and darker shades of brown. I also have black. You'd have to source a Rolex clasp (I'm currently all out), but that's not hard to do.
Let me know if you're interested.

Here are the two 19mm straps that I PM'd you about OP. They came from vintage straps in Italy. Took 3 months. They are buttery soft and both have authentic late 60s 16mm buckles on them. The quality on these straps is unsurpassed.

It takes 3 months to receive from them regardless of what they tell you at check-out and they keep you in the dark until it ships. Hurry up and wait : )

I have a 19 mm from Bulang on my Speedy that looks fantastic (IMHO).

@ahantel Great look for the speedy!
