Its not that this style may be something you're not interested in.. I get that... Its the manner in which you're showing your dislike... Childish comments.. "I puked in my mouth" really dude? How freaking old are you??

What the hell is going on??

No thanks, reminds me of my Physics Professor from High School, he wore one of these, I dont think he had a Rolex tucked underneath. He had that George Lucas look from the 70's

I think a Rolex EXPIIs on a leather strap look cool, esp if worn as an alternate to the original steel bracelet. I see nothing wrong with that; besides, it is all about personal preferences.

Wow! Orlando Bloom must be still stuck in the 60's! Even more dreadful is the fact he's wearing an old watch! Why isn't he cool like us??? What's next; bell bottom pants and flowers in his hair? Why can't he be a modern, sophisticated dude, like us??? What was he thinking??? He looks like a 60's reenactor! Makes me want to puke in my mouth, gag, and be disgusting, too. Crap! It's a good thing he isn't a WIS! Oh, wait .. he is a WIS ... Such heresy!

Man, you guys should lighten up a bit!

I think it looka different but not bad... And as we all know any Rolex looks good no matter how you wear it....

Sorry please do not count the Leopard Daytona...well actually the saco could look better with that last strap (from Paul) to cover the face...

I respect your individuality and you can wear whatever you think looks good

Just not to my taste.

I don't mind a Bund but I think WatchBands look better... This bund with a white face = no for me.



I'm going to put my Milgauss GV on this...

Here we go again, if Rolex is just a watch how can individuals be so passionate about a strap change. A guy shares a picture and people puke in their mouth, poop in their pants and the earth moves off it's axis. To quote other members " it's just a watch".

What the hell is going on??
This post is one of the few bright lights in this whole thread of replies!!
Thankyou Yaz....

I to am quite upset at the level of immaturity shown in the responses of some members...
It's one thing to say "It's not for me" or even "I don't like the look", but to use discriptives like puke,poop or hate is selfish and down right rude!!

Think of the OP and how he may feel over the level of comments received!!

The old saying is "If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all"!!



Mitch, the EXP white dial is my favourite combo on that model!!
I am a bund lover, but myself prefer the wider looking strap.
What is most important is what you think. If you like, that's what matters most!!!
I commend you on experimenting with the look, nothing wrong with that and it's always a simple and fast return to original!!!



This thread is now closed and in the future, let's keep the INSULTING opinions in your head and post in a factual and polite manner instead!!
