Do you have any idea how much it is to buy an original rolex buckle for my strap? Where can I buy it. Thanks.

You can get them through the RSC. I don't know how much it is where you are, but here in Japan it costs 6,000 yen. Btw, the buckles are only 16mm.

Hello everyone, I am thinking about getting a new strap for my DJ. What do you think of the Hirsch Leonardo on the DJ? http://www.watchstyle.com/pi14013030...?categoryId=15
I know that it looks good on the sports watch. Will it look good on the DJ? I like the curved end. Thanks for your opinion.

Hi, I changed my leather strap to Tan Alligator on DJ. I think it looks better than the black alligator strap.

Nice, I would consider something like that if my jubilee bracelet got damaged.

Etur Endlinks

I like TT endlinks by Etur better than SS endlinks for TT datejust.

DateJust with the Black Java Lizard Strap

I tried the crocodile, alligator, and curved end straps in brown, dark brown, light brown, and black. The best one is with the java lizard in black and Etur's endlinks.
