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. |
