The second pic is my choice, that leather will be so nice for these fall and winter months

tomchicago · 29 October 2016, 01:07 AM

too new for a strap. use the bracelet. strap is for much much older pieces where u can't get a good bracelet imo.

Finally got my customized leather strap. I think wg 369 looks great with leather.

rollee1 · 26 November 2016, 06:15 PM

With all due respect, I'd pick none.

My choice is tobacco leather minimal stitch in chocolate, or a blue canvas with contrast off-white stitching for the 214270.

I like pics 2,3 and 4.

Searched the web, basically there are two types of leather straps people chose for the explorer 1, the distressed brown or the croc style dress strap. If I had a 114270 , I would definitely go for the vintage look. For the 214270, I am not sure.

What would you guys pick?

Would pick first one from those pictures

Here is mine with ss endlinks and a Rolex Daytona leather band

I like the one you chose. It's a nice balance between the distressed look and the too dressy croc.

experimentjon · 9 April 2017, 10:41 AM

I recognize that this is an old thread but I really do like the strap that the OP chose. The most important thing for the Exp 1, IMO, is for the strap to taper to look proportional.

This one!! That is a beautiful strap!

ras47 · 10 April 2017, 02:23 PM

I love the brown, but I prefer less distressed. I'd go for something clean and new looking. I sure do love the look of the brown face with the brown leather strap on the first page (2nd pic).

Danny83 · 10 April 2017, 02:28 PM

I say the first one too
