Need a leather strap for a '62 OP

Where would you look for a high quality leather strap to fit a '62 OP (it's currently on a jubilee)? Certainly prefer a signed buckle but I'll consider a complete high quality aftermarket replacement as well.

My google-fu is typically pretty good but I'm not finding anything of the correct quality and size.

Thanks HF, his site is really interesting. Might be a little sporty for this watch but I'll dig deeper!

The thing is...Rolex USA is crazy...they won't even let the AD sell you a strap. I recently sent a friend to buy a strap for his 1501 14k watch. When the AD called in the order they said he had to send the watch to Dallas to be "fitted". I wish they would hire me sometimes...

So my friend had a trip to Europe coming up. I told him to go to Bucherer in Lucerne and show them the watch and ask for the strap. They brought one out, fitted it and he was out the door in 10 minutes.

I'd be happy with a high quality aftermarket complete strap or a quality strap and taking time to find a Rolex buckle....

Check out Bulang & Sons or Crown & Buckle. I have straps from each and have been happy with them.

You guys have been generous with your suggestions, one question: Using a ruler I'm getting a less than definitive measurement of lug width between 18/19, anyone have the right answer of the OP from this era?
