Now thinking leather straps- anyone tried this?

Sooooo,

A month ago I set off to add nylon straps to my 2 Subs.
-since its summer and so nice feeling when its hot rather than the links

Put them on yesterday and was happy with the results, they look very different and still stunning in a new light.

Plus its easy to swap back and fourth...

Now... I am thinking how would leather do????
Anyone tried this?
Anyone got any pics?
Any comments other than noooo?

I am thinking blue leather for the TT and naturally black for the SS sub.

heres some pics of the nylon:

I've got a couple of mine which I wear on leather.

Both straps from ABP in Paris , the first ostrich leg, the second alligator, both with contrasting stitching and backs.

I personally much prefer the look and feel of leather to the older bracelets so the 9315 on the 1680 and the 93150 on the 16800. But I've got the original bracelets safely tucked away

Some awesome combos there. I especially like the SD on the Swiss ammo strap, will have to think about that for myself.

TT on Leather does look sharp

Here are some with padded vintagelook gunny strap and gold stitching

Mistry · 5 July 2011, 05:39 PM

these seem impressive and again another option for me in the world of rolex

bracelet
nylon
...or leather

I can thus mix and match for any occation, whilst still having the beauty of the rolex as the center piece.

I will look into some and come back with some pictures all!

good times indeed
