Leather strap for SEA-DWELLER?

Hi Guys,

May I know will it looking good for my SEA-DWELLER to have a leather strap instead of the stainless steel braclet?
If it does, what colour do you recommend to match the rich black dail?
where can I get a good quality leather strap?
Does Rolex produce any leather strap for 16600? if yes, where and how can I get one?

Any friends in TRF have pictures of leather strap Sea-dweller to show?(so that i can have an idea how does it looks alike)

Thank u very much in advance!!!

Hi!

I dont have a leather strap on my SD, but sometimes I use a carbon strap from Hirsch.


I think that Hirsch's Leanoardo would be a good alternative since it has curved end pieces, which makes it look more "natural"

Show pics when/if you get a leather strap for your SD!

That looks great. Is the carbon strap waterproof?

Hi Desp Man!!

I have just shown my Sub No date with my new set of brown leather straps.
I got them from Jurgens, and received a great service from them, and quality is High!
I´m showing them at this link, here at TRF

You can have an idea of how your SD will look with leather straps, though as you can easily see by reading my post feedback, not everybody liked the change.

As a matter of fact, if you are expecting to use your SD in water or in scuba diving, I would recomend you to go back to the original SS bracelet, or other choice would be a NATO strap, which is very secure for that matter.

Hope this helps you!
Best cordial regards, Abel
