Rolex daydate leather straps! Help!

Hi Guys,
Looking for your guidance, I'm after a new leather strap for my day date, the current on is a breitling leather band 20-18mm and 120/80 mm. Problem is that the strap is on the very last hole so presume I'll need 110mm or 100mm if they do those???
Its a little too thick and padded for the watch, not even sure the buckle is supposed to be 18mm it looks a little too wide!
Any advice on where to get a good padded dark brown strap, plain or with stitching???!!!
Happy to buy from someone on here!!

Go for the dark brown, it gets better the more you wear it. The padding, I would say is just about right. If you go on the watch obsession site , there used to be a picture of one on a subc no date. I think they are priced at £55, honestly they are are great strap, you won't regret it.
There is a guy on here somewhere, ( chinbastic I believe) there is a good write up and loads of pictures.
