It's currently living quite happily on a Zenith Croc strap which I had spare from a El Primero I sold last year. The buckle is a C.Ward one which is pretty decent and very reasonable.



Before that it spent a little time on a Sharkskin jobbie.



I don't have a picture of the black C.Ward croc strap I originally purchased (with the deployment) to keep the rediculously expensive Rolex combo mint and "safe'd", though it is almost as good as the Rolex one.

I have to agree that the black/red strap looks sharp on the watch. Are you using the same clasp?

Same C.W clasp and it's still in great condition. I'll try to dig out a picture of it, it's not Rolex but it only cost $150 including the fine croc strap.

Stop it both of you as that is my favorite new Rolex. Keep this up and I will buy one, and at the same time, need to start looking for my 5th wife. Great watch!
