Hey guys, just curious what other watches do you guys wear on leather?

pics / brands / name would be great!

Thinking of picking up something in leather, need some inspiration!!!

Doesn't have to be a rolex..

I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of DJ DJII and Daytona's!! on straps!! lol

watchf · 6 March 2011, 04:48 PM

I have some cheapies on leather namely an Orient automatic wide date on brown leather and an incoming JL GMT quartz on black leather.

Ones I don't own but quite like are the IWC spitfire/Hamilton classics jazzmaster/1887 type look but the ultimate would be Longines Master collection retrograde series such as L2.717.4.78.5 / L2.715.4.78.3 (can't quite tell what is the difference between a few of the retrograde models) with multiple hands.

I like my dress watches on a leather strap, and my sporty watches on a bracelet or rubber strap. I actually have no Rolex watches on leather, though i've often thought about putting my old Oyster Date on a leather strap.

Here is my watch box, you can see for yourself which ones are on leather:

Hey we have the same Orient...great watch eh?

An Orient Day-Date (such a great watch...looks kinda like a JLC...costs kinda like a Casio, with my favorite features, the full day and date)

A JLC Master Ultra-Thin 38

Sometimes a Rolex Day-Date (sometimes on the bracelet)

A Sector 850 Day-Date-Moon

And sometimes a Breitling Aerospace

Three of my the last four I purchased were watches on leather straps. I wanted a good mixture and I thought I would broaden my horizions just a bit. So I purchased an IWC Pilot Chrono, a JLC Master Geographic, and a JLC Master Calendar.

Straps don't do well in the warm, humid SE US but in the cooler temps of winter, I do these:

A couple of weeks ago, I traded the EXPII for a GMT Master II which will be wearing the strap next winter.

I hate my strap due to the warm and humid weather here in Perth. In cooler temperatures for example when I was in Greece, I got to enjoy this for 3.5 weeks since I purchased it.

Just had a look at a dark brown Leonardo Principal for my YM today, but it looked to me like it would leave a bit of a gap. Is yours 20mm? Does it fit perfectly?
