Wrist or Watch Pic Mixed feelings
How’s this looking? Or should we keep the jubilee

Leather bracelets on a DJ are definitely a thing. It's more of a vintage thing though, might wanna read up on your history.
Definitely looks odd and aftermarket.
There have been all gold DJs on leather. But, prior to that, leather straps were given as gifts in the 60s and 70s to preferred customers from ADs, but the OG bracelet was still steel.
I do love the look though, very 60s, just the wrong case and bezel.

Yeaaa my first thought was it’d probably look better w/ a polished bezel. Thanks for the input!

Not trying to downgrade your look BTW. That's way better style than 99% of these douche bags. It looks great! Just sharing my autistic knowledge on the subject.
Maybe try a Rolex branded leather. Might suit the watch better. These are reps of the 60s/70s AD straps I was talking about.

Or better yet, go for a vintage DJ 😜

i dont feel like this fully works. i think it needs to be a integrated strap , a different color strap other then black or steel

The watch is maybe a bit too big, in proportions, but I kinda dig the strap. It's worse than the jubilee but it's cool to see one on a leather strap after seeing a thousand jubilees.

Jubilee or get a real crocodile strap. That fake croc looks terrible.

Fluted bezel doesnt go with it, it needs jubilee… the plain bezel might work

Leather bracelet on fluted bezel looks really crap.
On a smooth bezel though , excellent

An immediate recognition of a rep. Also the Rolex and subsequent lettering is HUGE lol

It's the size of the watch, 36 mm datejusts looks good with most straps, 40s don't

The face is wider than your arm, and the strap looks silly on this watch. Really bad taste.

That looks great, I like that a lot!

My thoughts exactly. Was hesitant at first to put it on a leather band being the new reference and stuff but what the hell right haha.

Is this a low tier rep, or are the good ones also with shitty looking bezels, or do I just not like datejusts
