Rolex, of course.

I bought one about 18 months ago for a vintage watch, cost around A$170 for the leather strap including stainless steel buckle.

However, it would have been more expensive if I wanted an exotic leather like alligator etc. They offered me the choice.

To be honest with the Pres DD, That Presidental bracelet makes it what it is, You can spot one from a mile away and it is among the most stunning Rolexs around. I would keep it on the gold bracelet, But of course to each his own.

Agreed!! That's one watch that looks terrific with its iconic President bracelet which is all class....and makes the watch look even more classier than it actually is!!

Please don't put a leather strap on that gorgeous watch! Please, for the love of God! You have a classic beauty there. IMHO what a shame if you put a leather strap on that.

Kinda like putting a NATO band on a cool LV.

Yes, I agree with most folks on this thread.

Shahril, you should wear it with the bracelet only.
