Tried something different today.

LV on vintage distressed dark green leather.

Look good

SLRdude · 17 November 2012, 11:36 AM

Thanks bud! I needed some variety, something to hold me over until bonus time when I can afford a new watch. :)

Looks very good. Where did you get the strap?

From Jabba Straps. The buckles, I already had.

Not for me, but put a faded Sub bezel insert and I think you have a winner.

Not sure yet if it is for me either, i just made the swap an hour ago. I really do think Rolex sport models look best on OEM bracelet.

With that said, I needed a change in pace and this ought to hold me for a while.

Doesnt matter its an LV, looks good all the time on anything!

ralfcom · 17 November 2012, 12:14 PM

That is nice

floater156 · 17 November 2012, 12:19 PM

looks good

financeman · 17 November 2012, 12:31 PM

I like it for a change but I agree that they look best on the OEM bracelet they come with

Do you want the truth.

I'm the only one that can speak the truth when it comes to the looks of it.

You can give an opinion.

I agree 100%

dman · 17 November 2012, 01:22 PM

I am a fan!

Bangel · 17 November 2012, 01:47 PM

I don't mind the look, though I'd prefer it on a bracelet.

I thought I read somewhere recently that dive watches weren't meant to go together with leather straps. That's of no consequence though, because as you said, only you can speak the truth in this matter. If you like it, go for it.

Hairdude1 · 17 November 2012, 02:08 PM

Cool!

Trouble15 · 17 November 2012, 02:25 PM

Looks okay to me, however I prefer the SS bracelet.

Andad · 17 November 2012, 03:18 PM

I like it Chip - it looks GOOD.

Mickey® · 17 November 2012, 03:19 PM

Nope.
Not for me...and I've tried. That watch deserves a proper bracelet IMHO>

joe100 · 17 November 2012, 03:29 PM

Steel only for me. I don't like a dive watch on a strap that can't get wet.

HACKNSACK44 · 17 November 2012, 04:09 PM

I like it!

Grey.Coupe · 17 November 2012, 04:13 PM

Whatever winds your watch!

I think part of what makes Rolex so successful is the way their watches look with the bracelets designed for them. Not that the occasional departure doesn't add to the look, but the bracelets Rolex designs really compliment their watches.

Palmasea · 17 November 2012, 04:31 PM

I like it

I agree...I have one on a proper bracelet but that look good for a change.

And a change back when you want.

Why can't you get a leather strap wet Joe? Cows can swim.

Monte Cristo · 17 November 2012, 05:35 PM

It's different...

Cru Jones · 17 November 2012, 05:45 PM

I think it looks great! Especially the darker one in the wrist shots. The more you can change things up, the better, IMO.
