The best strap comes stock on the Explorer. The Oyster bracelet.

Congrats! My best tip is to wear it on your wrist and not anywhere else.

Tip #1 --- bring money.
Tip #2 --- don't feel guilty about how great you actually are now. Tip #3 --- don't rush the sizing process. Be aware and discuss which side to remove links, how centered is the clasp, is easy link open or closed, which hole inside the clasp is being used. All these aspects combine for the best fit. You deserve it. You're a Rolex wearer now. ps --- forget about a strap |

Assuming quick adjust is standard on this watch, have that portion of the bracelet in the middle of the 3 holes. Quick adjust should be in the closed or short position. Have bracelet adjusted to fit. Then you have quick adjustment option for summer/alcohol binging swelling. If you gained some weight you have another hole left. Best you and congratulations. Enjoy!

All these Sunday incomings. Is it just the state of PA I live in, or most of the country, whereas ADs are closed on Sundays?

Congratulations, Eojeoj, and welcome! And I agree to maybe hang loose for awhile to see if the Oyster bracelet indeed might suit you.

Congratulations. I personally would keep the OEM bracelet on. It’s a classic watch, keep it stock.
