Hello all,

I’m a total novice with this stuff so hopefully someone can kindly help me out.

I’ve got a datejust 36mm from 2005 (16220 Arabic numerals, Ivory Rolex monogram dial, jubilee bracelet), and I’m looking to put on a oyster strap. Other than buying a real one for 1k+ on eBay, can anyone suggest one that would come closest to the current oyster bracelets.

Thanks!

I would not put a non Rolex bracelet on a Rolex. Get the real thing and never look back and do not ending up buying both as the non OEM product looks bad.

Order a Oriental version from eBay. Some are quite exact. Wear it for a week or so and see how you like the look. Then make your decision. Yes or no, your only out a few $$$.

Think if you look around and are patient can find a genuine Oyster band for less than $1k for your DJ

Thanks for the replies guys.

Seems they only have leather for the 36mm DJs on Everest straps :/

I wouldn’t be looking to spend 1k for a genuine one. It’s more for a bit of a change as the current jubilee is too formal for my style and I’m covered for formal with a 5130j. So really I was trying to style the DJ down...

I’m not bothered to have an aftermarket one that goes %90 of the way, just thought there would at least be one “good” brand everyone went to as Rolex seem to be so difficult with their replacement straps.

You may have to go with a more generic one like this brand: https://www.abpconcept.paris/collect.../marque-_rolex

No idea if they are any good though.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. Seems finding a good aftermarket one is way harder than I thought.

In the mean time, the jubilee is stating to look again after a deep clean.
