rolex 1675/3 originally with leather strap
Consulting a catalog of the time I have been able to find out that originally they also sold it with a leather strap. I really did not know. my question would be, what kind of strap was delivered.

That is very interesting Rafa.

I had a 1680/8 (#2.816.XXX) blue dialed originally with a black crocodile bracelet. Can you please find that in your catalogue?

Steel or Plaque?
With a TT model (in my case 5701 Air King Date) but also could be DJ, GMT etc., would the buckle for the factory leather band be SS or gold plated (plaque)?

I think if there's no gold plate on the head, no gold plate on the tail, it would be solid gold everywhere. That said if I ever need a replacement buckle I'll get a plated one, they're a heckuvalot cheaper and unless my lunch guest whips out a bullion wand who's going to know but me.

This only goes for buckles, though. Other items, I want the metal to be what it looks like.
