Thank you all! This was test run. Of course I like bracelets but sometimes want to change it up because too loud.... I agree need more dress watch strap like alligator. But seem like good quality alligator strap run for $300. Do you guys know any good alligator strap with reasonable price point?

On another strap

BNA/LION · 22 October 2018, 03:52 PM

Nay... not that strap. I prefer the bracelet.

BlackOnyx · 23 October 2018, 01:51 AM

yay, but try a leather strap without the 'strings' on the side, this one tries too hard to be vintage

lilokito · 23 October 2018, 02:36 AM

nice. but i'd keep it on the bracelet

i agree. I love DDs on leather (prefer president bracelet), but I think it needs to be a little dressier. The distressed/vintage style looks better on the vintage sports models IMO.

Stalex · 23 October 2018, 03:01 AM

Nay! i prefer it on bracelet, maybe i just don't like this strap.

mattskybeat · 23 October 2018, 03:02 AM

Yay

TonyYu · 31 October 2018, 01:36 PM

Yes. Look cool.

Where did you buy the Rolex buckle?

I would not. The one unique thing about the daydate is the bracelet. It is not loud.putting on a band makes it look like a knockoff or Datejust.

Jonnyj · 16 November 2018, 10:47 PM

Yay

chadstone30 · 13 December 2018, 12:34 PM

I love this strap. Can you tell me where to buy it please? Thanks! c

wisguy · 13 December 2018, 01:21 PM

Yay.

I actually think it looks classier on a strap.

Waterproofpt · 13 December 2018, 01:53 PM

On the right strap, I think it can look very classy and it definitely changes the look. Definitely some straps shown here that I’d like to add. Meanwhile here’s mine and a bit of a change with the 18078.

Never seen a Rolex that looks better on a strap.

dwatcher · 13 December 2018, 05:25 PM

yay for me

rolexpatek · 13 December 2018, 06:51 PM

a better strap needed, and it will elevate the look, look into croc

soran · 13 December 2018, 06:58 PM

A Day-Date must have the president bracelet

GSBC · 13 December 2018, 11:14 PM

I’m not a purist, and I think the strap looks stunning on the DD.
However, the president bracelet look even better.
One thing for certain - Rolex Day-Date’s are timeless.
Great to have options.

Headshrinker · 14 December 2018, 12:06 AM

I like the bracelet much better, but it’s nice to be able to change things up, now and then. It must be a pain in the a** to change to the band.

AEC · 14 December 2018, 02:10 AM

Try alligator in Honey or Black, stitching to match, and tapering to 16mm at the buckle. A Hirsch London or something from Camille Fournet are probably best.

jinikari01 · 14 December 2018, 03:24 AM

i like it on both.
The bracelet gives off classy and professional look.
With strap it becomes little more sporty and relaxed fit.

Could you please tell me which strap this is and were to get one?

Dressier strap, but in principle, yay.

jps3b · 18 December 2018, 11:03 AM

Very elegant with the strap. Love the contrast between the dark dial and the yellow gold. Nicely done Sir

FlGreenie · 31 December 2018, 02:48 PM

I also had the itch to swap out the bracelets for an exotic leather strap. After some purchase and fails I found a guy/shop out of a Montreal that made the process very easy and the product very awesome. I ended up with a black ostrich leg with a medium shine for my submariner (flack face and ceramic bezel) and a tan alligator for my GMT-II (black face and black ceramic bezel). I love them both. I love the feel of them on my wrist, the smell of the leather and the look. It is a much more casual look than the bracelets are, which I like. My only issue is that I find myself swapping them out here and there as if they were an apple watch and band; anyone that as ever swapped out a strap from a Rolex will tell you that doing so is a heck of a lot more
arduous than an Apple Watch!! But it is

worth the effort. Just be real careful not to scratch up the watch!
