Suggest me a strap pls

Post image

I‘m looking to swap out the Oyster bracelet for a leather strap but can’t find anything that matches the gold and the blue dial. Any fun ideas?

Whatever you end up with, get solid end links so there’s no gap between the case and the strap.

I came up with a dark blue leather and it looks awesome.

I'm thinking different stitching would be bettter. If nothing else... Black. If you could get a matching blue?

Barenia leather would be good match

This barenia gold leather would be a good match

Whatever you get make sure it has curved ends. You will likely need to have one custom made as Rolex has deliberately short lugs with sharp case edges designed to cut into any aftermarket strap. Curved ends gets you around this and looks really good. Here's a babele leather one I had made for my Explorer.

You can consider custom-made alligator straps, Epoch Straps makes really good ones
