I am requesting photos of any Rolex GMT's with leather straps. I have a GMT IIC and am very interested in what it would look like with different color leather straps. Also, what are the most reputable leather straps to buy? Thanks!

Now this is going to be of little to no value in making a decision on a leather strap on GMT IIC , BUT you asked for GMTs on leather! This is a 1969 Rootbeer on a vintage crocodille strap. The strap strarted coming apart, so it is now on a "Hecho en Mexico" TT jubilee from Steve Mulholland.

How about a leather nato.

Very cool, thanks guys! Keep the pics coming.

Hmm...Not sure about this.

I'm very fond of my Hirsch Carbon strap...1984 GMT Master 16750. This is it with my Pepsi and Black inserts. I also have a photo of Jock's 1675 on a brown strap with a brown insert.

scl6118 · 31 October 2009, 12:46 PM

I love the brown strap!

Yes - it looks great.

I liked it so much I bought a faded brown insert and a ridgeback alligator strap in an attempt to duplicate the look.

Not entirely successful but still interesting

GMT IIc seems a little bulky to go on a leather strap. Now, while not my personal taste, a green shark strap to match the hand could look cool, especially as a shark strap is a bit sportier/chunkier than a calf/reptile strap.

My Rootbeer

Speed · 31 October 2009, 01:52 PM

Grrrrr...

disco stu · 31 October 2009, 02:35 PM

Here's mine..... again not sure if it's gonna help, but seeing as you asked.... I cycle this with the steel and occasionally a black Zulu nylon......

I got the alligator from Atelier du Bracelet Parisien, they make straps to order.

That's pretty much how I wear it 99% of the time. I don't have a bracelet for the watch, and my wife complains when I install the Pepsi. She say's it looks too...I'll paraphrase...cartoonish. Probably the black strap accentuates that effect.

Why not, you can always change back.

I'm not a player with the leather straps, but the root beer bezel insert with the brown strap looked pretty handsome.

zak98 · 2 November 2009, 10:38 PM

love the look of a "curved" strap at the case.. finishes off the look very nicely.

buz-lh · 3 November 2009, 12:18 AM

I wear this combo occasionally.

Dan Pierce · 3 November 2009, 12:44 AM

That combo rocks, Buz!!

I am not so sure about the leather strap combos..............

Thanks Dan. I like that leather NATO you're sporting.

I got this one in the mail the other day. I am sure it's not the taste of several on the forum, but I like the variety it adds to the watch.
