Leather strap on the submariner 116610 ln
Hi all,
I recently got my first Rolex, a Submariner 116610ln. I was wondering if I could buy a leather strap for it. Would this be a good idea? If someone has done so can you please upload the pictures? And is there any recommended site to buy them? Many Thanks! |

I'd try out some Hirsch strap or something. My wife wears my 16610 on a leather strap since many years. Here are a few random photos (not mine)

Check out ABP in Paris. Their website shows loads of watches including Rolexes on leather straps of all types. But they are pretty expensive so if you dont want to blow €350 - €400 on a strap maybe check the site out for ideas and colour combinations then buy from say Hirsch.

The top strap in the photo I posted is from ABP. Expensive and long wait, I'd start with a Hirsch or something before going down the ABP route.

I am going Paris in December and read on their website that they can on the same day prepare your strap. |
