Hi

Im thinking of buying this watch

http://www.chrono24.com/en/rolex/dat...acturerIds=221

I like the fact that it has a leather bracelet, as i already have some with steel, but it doesnt look original. Where there any 16013 sold with leather bracelet, and if that is the case, where can i get an original?

The watch head may be in good shape.. impossible to really tell from a couple of photographs.. the far-side lugs seem to be over polished

The strap is too small and appears to be an 18mm or 19mm instead of a proper 20mm strap..

Not an expensive strap at all. Please, buy the 16013 that you love, with or without bracelet (sold as "head only"), then buy yourself one or more of the straps you like. This one, as Tools has pointed out, isn't even the right size for the watch. Straps range in price from $8 to $500 and there are attractive examples in all price ranges. The strap on that watch can be readily found on eBay for no more than $30.
