    Pst your pics of Rolex watches on leather straps!

    If you wouldn't mind

    I've been having a surprisingly hard time finding pics online, and of course Rolex sells few watches on leather so there are few official pics. I'm particularly interested in seeing Datejusts on leather, since that's the model I've been eyeing, and the first thing I'd do after purchase is throw on a croc strap. However, I'd love to see any models on any bands.

    Also, for the models that have it, do y'all prefer to leave the separate end-link on, or take it off and leave a gap between the case and the strap?

    I love changing this up with different straps. It's an easy way to completely change the appearance at a relatively low cost.





    Unfortunately, the end links from bracelets cannot be used on leather straps. The custom end links seen here were made by a member of The Rolex Forum, Eugene [Etur]. They make any strap look like OEM and give a clean seamless aesthetic.

    You can get straps with curved endlinks that hug the case. They are very sharp. I keep telling myself I'm going to get one.

    Thanks JM70,

    As soon as I can figure out the best lighting to film a review of the Datejust and the Hirsch Lord strap, I will!
