Bulang are the only people I’ve bought a leather strap from. Really nice.

RubberB and Everest make nice things as well.

If you like nato straps check out MN

https://erikasoriginals.com/

It's like a nato but custom fit for you and made of the same paracord the french scuba / para used... and they are amazing looking + feeling. Perfect fit made for your wrist size etc!

Jean Rousseau are the best. Period. You can have them custom made.

Bulang and Sons have really nice straps. However, I find the buckles seem a little flimsy. I don't doubt they are up to the job but they don't feel too premium. That said I'd still recommend them.

Just remember that most modern six-digit Rolexes have the springbars set really close to the case, and only a slim strap will fit. If you want a thicker strap, you'll need something with a fitted end like Everest of Rubber B sells.

I tried some but honestly found that the best way a Rolex looks is the way it came out of the factory!

Amazon.com and smarty end links. The Barton silicon straps are great. If you get a smarty end link for your Rolex, you can dress that watch with ENDLESS looks for around $20 each.

Amazon for the straps.

Google "smarty end links" to get those.

Erika took the original design and modified it. The original material is only available in green with a yellow stripe and 21mm.

And they aren't paracode. They were the parachute elastic release strap.

Those straps come with a quick release spring bar. I do not recommend that spring bar for any watch I care about.

You can get aftermarket spring bars the same dimensions as the stock spring bar but a thinner middle section so you can add any strap you want.

Crown & Buckle makes a “supreme” nato strap that looks fantastic. Their premium NATOs were really good so I can only imagine how nice these new ones are.
