Crocodrile strap for PVD watch
Hi, all! I bought a PVD Rolex Submariner and have been trying to find a black crocodrile strap to fit the watch and the original buckle. I have only found the SWC one. Bought it and the strap is great but I can not fit the buckle and the one that comes with it is somewhat tinni!! I have been to various shops in London and Paris and could not find one. Can anyone help??Thanks in advance.

I saw a thread last week about a guy who had a custom one made for his GMT or Sub (can't recall) It was sized and finished for the Rolex clasp.

Looks quite cool, but it annoys me how with some of these black custom jobs on Rolex watches, they (Pro Hunter etc) keep the new bracelets, and you get to pay more for a black-coated case, while they flog the bracelets off as well. I know some watches retain the bracelets, but a lot don't. For example, there's a Pro Hunter store here and they are all on NATO straps! Rip off. Good luck finding a good strap for it to fit those end-links!

This one came with the PVD bracelet. I have now ordered a crocodile strap from JR Atelier's new shop in London. This one is to fit the clasp only with a straight finish for the pins at the watch.. If it works will try to get one fitting the end-links. Then I can use the SWC links !! Will let you know.
