New bracelet
So Ive tried to search and couldnt find any real information so I am sorry if this is redundant.
For a Sub and a Skydweller what size is the right bracelet and where are people buying different ones? Im looking for some rubber and some leather ones if I can find them. |

Thank you. I'm starting a Christmas list for my wife to buy me. Now I've just got to find a leather one for my Sky Dweller

Be aware that Rolex likes to sit the springbar holes really close to the case in more recent models, which limits strap options. I can't speak to the Sky-Dweller, but a ceramic sub will tear up a regular strap that isn't on the thin side. The strap will rub against the case and shred against the sharply defined edges, leaving visible wear. A nice chunky strap might not physically fit in the first place.
So, with your wife doing the buying, she'll want to buy only straps that are guaranteed to fit a ceramic sub (and probably the same for the Sky-D). (A piece of metal tape over the case edge can let a strap rub against it with much less damage, but strap movement will still be restricted and it'll still start to show rub wear over time.) |

Thanks for the info Likesthrshiny I'll be sure to just show her some specific ones I want and tell her she has to get those not anything different.
If anyone has a lead on leather for the sky dweller let me know |
