BLRO with vintage crack leather strap
Who said 6 digits Rolex can't sport a strap?

Heh, I was going to ask how you got such a thick strap to fit, then I saw the final pic. Fortunately, on a distressed strap it doesn't look terrible for the case to have chewed it up like that.

Nice for a change up but hard to beat the bracelet.

I quite like it but it does look out of place when the leather is broken up and it looks kinda messy on the bottom lug

I have a hard time with leather straps on this type of watch. I just don't like the way they fit around the lugs, but I have to admit I like this one. It looks a little worn which is why I like it.

With the strap, the BLRO feel significantly lighter than with the bracelet. It did give the BLRO that semi-vintage look that I tried to achieve. I do agree the BLRO looks the best with the bracelet and feel more substantial. But if you want that understated look or fly under the radar while traveling, any vintage styled strap will work. I find people stare less at my wrist while I pair BLRO with the strap.
Now Back to the bracelet

Not trying to be rude but if targeting a vintage look, why didn't you buy vintage?

BLRO looks great on the bracelet. I can see the look you're after with the leather.

I've always loved the GMT on leather... not many people put leather on a BLRO.. Just cause it's WG doesn't mean it cant look awesome on leather... Love the style keep it up!

Bluesy on strap
Now let's make this thread more interesting.
How about " Blusey " on suede strap?

I'm aaaallright with some leather now and again. Of course, nothing beats the bracelet; but I like options
