Thanks. The strap is an older Rolex crocodile strap I purchased on the Vintage Rolex Forum. I've purchased several NOS of these straps on VRF. They come up for sale every so often...I suggest you post a WTB ad on the market.

The deployant is off a Rolex Cellini...bought it on ebay...not easy to find in this size and definitely not cheap (it's Platinum). But, I do really like having the deployant on leather so I splurged.

This is my 1960 DJ white gold bezel and champagne dial on a brown lizard strap instead of its normal Jubilee.

Love Rolexes on leather. Here is my 1985 DateJust on a Bordeaux wine Crocodile with an original 18K Day Date Bark Bezel. It's my daily wearer.
