Is a rolex and a leather strap (or any other strap) like an oxymoron or a big no-no? Ive seen a few of the gold daytonas on leather and I think it looks great. Does rolex even sell leather bands to put on subs or gmts? Thanks in advance and please excuse my ignorance.
I think a Rolex on a strap is the traditional Rolex look. I love my 116518.

I also tried on a new YG DateJust/white dial on a tan croc strap at a dealer in the US recently, and it was absolutely beautiful and comfortable.
