So... i just bought leather strap for dd 18038 because i know president strap is better but sometimes it little bit too loud. So I want to test with leather strap. I think i need time to get used to it but what you guys think? Yay or nay?

Yah ... might also want to try with dressier leather strap (like alligator)

fania123 · 21 October 2018, 06:22 PM

Nay

peterpl · 21 October 2018, 06:53 PM

Dont do it. It looks 1000x better on the bracelet.

matches · 21 October 2018, 07:00 PM

Yay

I agree. That Day-Date model works really well on a crocodile or alligator strap. Look for one in a non-glossy finish, a somewhat thin profile, and with a strong taper to 16mm at the buckle.

It looks good to me....so yay.

Patton250 · 21 October 2018, 09:50 PM

I like it. Great way to change it up.

jenedla · 21 October 2018, 10:57 PM

Yay

Widows Son · 21 October 2018, 10:59 PM

Nay, don't like the white stitching, way too casual. Looks nice on the bracelet.

SearChart · 21 October 2018, 11:01 PM

I prefer the bracelet.

Amex4711 · 21 October 2018, 11:11 PM

I prefer the bracelet, too.

1William · 21 October 2018, 11:20 PM

Great watch but your choice of strap does not do it for me. If you went with a classic alligator or other equally suitable strap for a gold Rolex I think it would look better. Even when you lose the bracelet the watch is still a gold DD.

Aboslutely; that is a strap for a vintage tool watch not a dress watch.

Richard Carver · 22 October 2018, 03:36 AM

Something a bit dressier maybe.

HRT · 22 October 2018, 03:40 AM

nay

I do like changing up watches with a band however, it really needs a dressier band. IMO

Yeah, this is exactly what I was going to say. On a black alligator strap with just a little glossiness, that thing would look amazing.

I'm not a huge fan of yellow gold in general, but one place I love it is with black. Gold and black look so great together.

Old Geezer · 22 October 2018, 06:45 AM

Yay.

DoctorA · 22 October 2018, 06:49 AM

Depends on the strap and color combination it can be a big yay or a strong nay!!
It looks beautiful on crocodile!

BVLDARI · 22 October 2018, 07:51 AM

I would put it on a more "formal" leather strap if you want the change. this strap is super casual and I personally don't think it fits the watch.
