Rolex strap

Hi, I'm new to the site, well new to you already members.

Have a question that has been bothering me. Why do people change the strap on their Rolex for a leather one or something similar?

In my case, I feel my bracelet is somehow stretched and cannot get the desired fit. Therefore, I take the opportunity to change to rubber, leather and nato straps depending on the mood, day ahead and so on.

Best regards,

Because it’s fun and after you buy the watch, what else can you do with it? Ha!

Metal bracelets have never felt comfortable to me, so I get various types of leather for them all. Vintage especially looks better on leather.

The only watch I have left on the bracelet is the Milgauss.

For me it is like having a Ferrari and changing the wheels for Ford Fiesta wheels, should they fit that is.

The Daytona does look good with the black strap, but I think the original strap has quality and complements the watch perfectly. Suppose its personal preference then.

Totally changes the look of the watch. Aside from that if the steel bracelet really isn't wanted can always flip it and use proceeds for another piece. Thinking of doing that myself!!
