Yes this can be done, but in my opinion it should not be done. Just like I don't think WG dials should go on SS Daytonas. Keep it original.

IMHO, Rolex needs to realize that not everyone wants a bracelet.

I can see your point on the dials. Reserve the ultra cool ones for the heavy metals, but give us non-bracelet fans some options in the Rolex world.

I'm thinking of ordering a leather strap from Hodinkee. Anyone ever had one that could comment on it or give a review?

Thanks.

i personally like the contrast of the leather strap with the white dial it gives it more contrast than the SS bracelet. . .
