I love a beautiful custom strap on a Rolex, show me yours. (Please no Nato’s) I know many think the traditional bracelet is the only way. I love mine, but you should probably skip this thread. I’ve had my Sub since 1985 and once in a while, I like a little variety.

Here’s an ABP to start things off:

Nice thread. Looking forward to the pictures.

JohnAndrew · 29 October 2011, 12:14 PM

Thanks Dan, I really like that strap. Boy, do I need to work on my photography. I'll post ABP strap #2 this weekend.

Thanks, John!

Your photo skills are fine.

You might want to consider a set of custom end links from Eugene to complete the look.

Here's a pic w/ my GMT.

Dan I love the way you interchange the straps,bezels & bracelet on your GMT. It's like you have 4 different watches...

Totally true. These strapped-up Rollies look great, but the custom end links would make them look less... vacuous? I'm not sure that is the correct word, but you get my drift.

I just received this one from Jeanna at Stone Creek:

Nice!! It's incredible how a strap will make a watch look totally different.

Great ABP you have there... really like the glove stitch.

mikkolopez · 30 October 2011, 11:48 PM

Though not a Rolex, it's my Ball-s on custom ammo

big d 51 · 31 October 2011, 05:02 AM

I have always been really weird about brown and black. I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm just weird. Getting a black face with a brown strap may be the perfect mix
To wear with everything.

Nice Watches and traps guys.

JohnAndrew · 31 October 2011, 11:56 PM

I love a little variety. I just got this one last week from BJ straps. It's for casual wear:

Here you go:
http://k-straps.com/Carbon-Fiber.php

Very high quality, quick turn around, decent prices, and completely made to order.

DiamondJack · 1 November 2011, 01:30 AM

Here's a couple of mine from ABP.

The first is ostrich leg, the second alligator and third an original vintage Rolex alligator strap.

And John.... I would love to see a wrist shot of that racing strap. I was tempted by that myself and just wasn't sure whether to go for the full holes or the ones with the holes in a different colour leather underneath. But looks absolutely fantastic

Thanks guys, the pictures are beautiful. I’ve got another from BJ I’ll soon post and I should be receiving one from Jeanna at Stone Creek in the next week or so. DJ, the full holes are the way to go. I’ll take a wrist shot this weekend and post. When I get another strap from ABP I’ll definitely get the inside done in a fun color.
Please keep the pictures coming.
