Not bad but I think black would look better.

Old Expat Beast · 17 May 2014, 03:26 PM

16750?

Yeah...not really great. Sorry.

Dr. Robert · 17 May 2014, 03:41 PM

Bracelet, Di Modell rallye strap or Isofrane strap.

mluther · 17 May 2014, 05:07 PM

I'm with the majority - not really working. I think its the heft of the strap and the white stitching. I would stick with the bracelet too - but if you want to try a strap, you should consider one that tapers in a little and is less busy i.e. with a side stitch i.e.

It took me a while to understand straps - trial and error

Maybe something like this...

slickshoes · 17 May 2014, 10:18 PM

Thanks for the honesty guys! Guess the girlfriend is right again. Im not really feeling the jubilee it came on so maybe I'll buy an oyster.

Shane0mack - where is that strap from?

Lot of places selling straps like that- I bought one similar last week. Hodinkee actually sells some really nice leather/suede straps in that same style, and they are priced pretty well.

I have a 16750 and prefer straps without any visible stitching. A nice black or aged brown leather strap will be great on that watch.

I like these AK links.

I think it's a nice strap, although personally I prefer NATO (even leather) on Rolex sports-watches, if you're not going with the bracelet. I think in this case the photos\flash don't help. Also looks like you're wearing it too loose. Tighten it up so it fits, and it will look better, IMHO.

If you don't like the stitching and prefer that ultra retro look...

Contact Jed jedly1@gmail.com

and get a genuine Horween Cordovan.

skprd13 · 18 May 2014, 01:32 PM

Just not happening for me. Just my opinion only. If it sings to you go for it! Enjoy!

Mine is from Hodinkee. I'm pretty sure Jed sells very similar ones for a better price.

Your GF has good taste....

Nothing like the original bracelet. But whatever floats your boat....it's your watch. Personally I never understood these straps

I've tried them and not for me
