Mike1066: don't think. Do!
A vintage Sub on a leather strap is a very enjoyable presentation--classy, quiet. With a variety of straps you get a variety of looks to suit your mood. Lots o' fun. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1340388254.304563.jpg 5512 III59 on Gunny G352 (Arrillo in Breitling style) |

I really like this leather Nato on my 1665, 1680 and 5513.

I have to say I agree i don't like subs etc on leathers at all. However some of these in this thread do look great, vintage and leather is ok I guess!

Wow, some beautiful straps here, love how different the watches look with every strap change!
Btw Dan, Jeff, where did you'll source those SS Rolex buckes from? Are they 16mm?

It's always the little things that add a lot.

I don't mind NATO and Maratac etc....
but I can't do the leather thing....it just doesn't match up right. I do however, like the look of patina with the suede type strap the 1680 is on in the first page. |

my Range came on a OEM bracelet, but I think it looks better on leather. |

I think a sports strap should have a little stitching for some contrast.

Quick and dirty shot of my red sub on one of Jed's leather straps. I think it's a great look. Vintage dive watch on patina'ed leather. Panerai aesthetics on a Rolex! :-)

Gents:
Thank you for all the pics. I'm thinking of possibly picking up one of those vanilla straps by Jed. We'll see. Still not fully convinced, but possibly getting there! V/R Mike

I got a Jed strap. Love it. It's perfect but sometimes I have trouble getting the springbars to click into the slots. Takes me a lot of movemebt for them to click Any advice? Rich

I'm not a fan of Rolex on leather, but those pics have convinced me !
Worth a try. |
