My 16803 is finally ready for all my moods and occations.

I finally finished putting together a selection of bracelets and strap to make my 16803 ready for any need. I know some don't like changing or customizing their watches but, as much as possible I kept it all Rolex.

Your leather strap is upside down.

Probably because I wear it on my right wrist. It feels better to me that way.

I also wear my watch on my right hand and tried placing the buckle end like you did. Did not work out for me and reverted back to the usual spot

Looks good. Don't often see a 16803 around here. I bought mine new in 1986.

Good Lookin 16803. I've had mine for several years purchasing it used w/o any band or bracelet. Acquired the Oyster bracelet when I found the correct one at my local AD, not sure why they had one that old and used but, I didn't complain. The Jubilee I purchased last year and the leather band and gold buckle were a gift.

Jubilee for formal occasions, oyster for casual/semi-formal and leather for...in between?

Thank you for the reply's. I again tried the watch with the strap reversed, still don't like how it feels. I'm guessing my bracelets are also upside down when I switch to them. To each his own I guess.
