Good Leather Strap Options DJ

Good evening all.

I wanted some advice on recommended brands that make leather bands for the DateJust. I’ve seen rubber straps from companies such as Everest and rubber b, are there leather equivalents?

Good Leather Strap Options DJ

I wear mine on a Bandrbands textured calf.




Everest makes a good looking alligator with end links, and while I’ve never used it on my DJ (the end links are SS), I used it on my OP39 and it fit and looked great.

I have heard great things from Bulang and Sons; one of my friends absolutely loves his leather strap he purchased a couple months ago.

They make a good strap indeed, just a bit on the pricier side. Still less than half of the Everest alligator, so I guess not too bad in the grand scheme of things.

Chip, this is the first time I have ever seen a Rolex on a strap that looked good, and you gave us two of them. Very nice.

Beautiful watches on great straps.
Fine photos too.
Looks like SLR really stands for SLR.
