I just picked up my first vintage rolex (a datejust) and it will need a leather band. I'm wondering if anyone has a good brand or seller you'd recommend?

Also, the Rolex crown buckle? Is that something that was a purchase option years ago and I should track down? Curious the groups thoughts on those as well.

Thanks!

Congrats on your vintage DJ!

They are hand made in Italy and just incredible. Looking forward to seeing some pics!

Cheers Gus. Yes, I saw on the PP forum. Looks great my friend. Breguet numbers and vintage looking strap!

I just ordered a brown calfskin one today from them for the Day Date I posted about over the weekend. Best.

I've bought leather ones from Crown & Buckle and Gnomon - good-quality, basic leather NATOs.

For something a little more special (££$$), I have enjoyed great straps from Wotancraft, Jürgens (Germany) and a friend of mine here in Switzerland who made me a custom strap, at chunkstraps.com Also Massimiliano in Rome, for suede NATO.

I bought a leather strap from Barry on the forum:

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...hlight=leather

I love the look of these vintage leather straps. I've seen them priced at 2x what Barry charges so I think the price is very fair. The quality of the strap itself is quite nice. I have already contacted him to order a second strap in a different color.
