DateJust on an alligator strap.

I bought this beautiful 20/16 alligator strap from Peter @ watchacc. He's been such a pleasure to deal with. It arrived today and the strap was very well packaged and there was even a hand written note from Peter with the strap. I've only seen that a few times in my life so I really appreciate the extra step to show you're a valued customer. If anyone's interested google watchacc. He's done some very nice straps and can do pretty much anything you want as far as size, length, color, leather, exotic hides, stitching etc.

The strap is paired with a RHD deployant clasp from Bob @ mywatchmaker, another great guy to deal with.

I couldn't be any happier with this combo except, and I never though I'd say this..I'm liking this better than the President band I got yesterday.

I'm used to wearing diver style watches on SS bands or Zulu straps. Maybe I'm crazy but I really like this strap. It's something different and unique. I know I won't be seeing anyone in my neck of the woods with a DateJust like this.

Thank you for the wonderful post. That is a fantastic looking datejust. The Roman dial is just amazing. Always happy to see that a fellow watch collector is happy with the straps and service that we provide. Pls enjoy using beautiful watch and strap :)

Now I have gotta go and look for a Roman Dial 18K Datejust :)

Thanks again and have a great weekend.

Best regards,
Peter

I'm more of a bracelet guy myself, but if you like it, that's all that matters.

I'd like to see it on a black one, personally. So long as you're happy with it - enjoy!

Sharp case edges

Buy a thinner non padded strap instead? Those Marks become quite unsightly when the watch is put on as the damaged parts are even more exposed.

Beautiful!

Here is the DJ passed on to me from my father, also with crocodile strap.

I actually think its way classier then the 18K jubilee bracelet.
