Leather strap on an oysterquartz

I have an 18k YG oysterquartz 19018 that id like to put a leather band on. I have a 20mm strap but ive been reading that these have unique lugs and bracelets. Anyone have any experience with these?

I have the same watch. I can't imagine why you'd want to change; the bracelet is one of the most comfortable I've ever tried!

You will need to have one custom made to fit the lugs.

To me the beauty and allure of the OQ is the integrated bracelet, but like all things subjective, YMMV

I think you can mount a leather strap (20mm?) directly onto the lugs of the oysterquartz as well



Might not look the best but it's do-able
