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.

I've had Subs for 16 years. About a year ago I put one of them on a Croc. strap. It looked great. But after 16 years of not worrying about getting it wet, I kept hopping into the shower or pool with it on. I decided to put the bracelet back on and never worry about getting it wet.

Otto,
That's a real stunner!

The end pieces really complete the package.

Love the look of this. Are these the end links from Eugene or are they original? I would love to get in touch with Eugene if anyone knows how?

I've got a 1675/3 that I'd like to put on this very strap...
