As said before, I'm not so keen on two-piece leather straps on sports Rolex, especially divers (which I think look better on Oyster bracelets, nylon NATOs or rubber), but I will make a personal exception ( ) in this case, with a vintage grey leather NATO made from an old German flying jacket, on my 1675. Love it

I love this thread! So many beautiful straps. It's why I love to put my 16800 on leather. Here are a few with and without endlinks:
And on the Tudor: |

Ken,
Any chance of getting you to take a pic of your collection? I am amazed at the quality of vintage pieces you have. If not today...just someday...please. |

Can't blame ya there Ken. None the less...your collection is truly amazing and that blue GMT is a thing of beauty that I have literally gone back to probably 12 times since you posted the pics. Seeing pieces such as that one and pretty much every other you've posted is what brings me back here every day. I absolutely love this place.
