So I got this strap today from a local guy that makes straps. Thought the colour would go well with the watch.

What’s the opinion of the brains trust?

A nice “summer strap” is my opinion!

Agree.

I like the strap - nice.

Timekeep111 · 8 July 2021, 07:52 PM

Ok great. Thanks guys. It was a bit of a gamble for me. I usually go with the usual brown or black (safe options) I appreciate everyone’s contribution.

zapokee · 8 July 2021, 08:40 PM

I like it, but the Oyster bracelet would be standard. This one's nice for a change rather than a permanent choice.

Timekeep111 · 8 July 2021, 10:23 PM

Yeah it’s for some variety

Looks great!! Would look nice at a BBQ with cargo shorts and a polo.

I like the strap- what material is that? I'm looking for a good source for straps- does your local guy have a website?

I bought a strap from Jack Foster and I do like it, but the leather is a little bit too thick on his straps for my liking. It is so thick it's very difficult to install it on the lugs. Yours looks very nice and thinner.

Any other color options? I think that gray, cordovan or tan might look better. The taupe wouldn't be my first choice with a black dial TBH.

The material is calf leather for this one and the website is https://artisanstraps.com/

I like it. Not normally a fan of Rolex on leather, but that looks a good combo.

All good, I appreciate the feedback.

Timekeep111 · 10 July 2021, 11:29 AM

What about this one?

Timekeep111 · 23 July 2021, 05:52 PM

And yet another strap. This one makes the black dial pop.

AJMarcus · 24 July 2021, 04:41 AM

OP, Looks great on the strap. Enjoy

Martin · 24 July 2021, 08:26 AM

Looks good, Enjoy

Dr.Smellody · 24 July 2021, 08:52 AM

All look good. The first one pictured looks best to me. Straps are great in offering variety.

Timekeep111 · 24 July 2021, 07:50 PM

Thank you all, it is becoming a strap monster. I have the steel bracelet but it’s a bit banged up.

goonhoon · 25 July 2021, 01:36 AM

The first one looks rather refreshing - love it.

Oyster Perp · 26 July 2021, 01:59 AM

Wouldnt have thought of that colour myself, but having seen it now it certainly goes !!

Timekeep111 · 26 July 2021, 12:49 PM

I get straps from a supplier I have become well with. He has a good eye for things like that so all I do is send him a photo and tell him to send me a strap. He chooses it and hand makes it.
