We were in London and I visited Jean Rousseau Watch Strap Store on Picadilly.

After being told it would take 5 weeks to get a custom strap for my 5524 my wife spotted a lonely strap of the exact color of the dial in a basket and wouldn't you know it, it had all the right dimensions.
Half an hour later I was sporting a new blue strap with stitching matching the color of the numbersl and I am really happy with it.
In my opinion these straps are of the same excellent quality as the original Patek straps.

great combo....it looks great.

pam66 · 29 September 2019, 04:26 AM

i really like this watch and sold mine only because i felt it was too big for my wrist. but it is the best PP dual time.

Looks good. I have the RG version and here it is with the original strap and a charcoal strap that comes with the 5520 alarm.

Very nice, great combo

AF_Rob · 29 September 2019, 05:19 AM

Well done, sir!

JLC wants crazy money for their straps. I went after market and I’m very happy.

That is an awesome pairing of the charcoal strap and RG case! Beautiful. Can’t wait for my G

i think the charcoal strap would go with the 5524G as well. maybe in a while we shall realize that they are great watches after all. unfortunately 42mm is too big for me but i am still checking into 5520P after i saw it a week ago during the factory tour:::))))

AK797 · 29 September 2019, 05:49 AM

Think you need a more interesting strap otherwise the flat dial just dulls out the whole watch.

Fat_ninja · 29 September 2019, 05:56 AM

OP great choice, but this watch can be worn with some funky colors

Any pics of examples?

Huge fan of Jean Rousseau - AP quoted me 12 weeks for a replacement strap - JR made me one in 2 weeks, and half the price - win win

Will try to find it on patekaholic. There’s a mustard yellow one I had been thinking of.

Someone on Purists was doing rubber ones which looked pretty good.

Pretty Navitimer as well. 41 or 43mm diameter?

chunkythebulldog · 7 October 2019, 05:46 AM

Finally got mine onto a Jean Rousseau strap as well. Completely changes the look of the watch.
