Pepsi on leather

Good evening folks. I'm just curious whether anyone pepsi owners have equipped a leather strap on a blro. Tried looking but only found a 5 digit pepsi on a cracked leather... thanks for sharing in advance.

I fitted the leather strap I have for my 16610 to my BLRO.
Didn't really like it so it didn't stay on for long.
Probably not the best type of strap for the BLRO, I think an all black or brown vintage style one may look better.



I prefer it on a Nato for those times when I want my watch fly under the radar.

Not for me in either leather or NATO. This watch screams metal bracelet and shinny in a good way.

Leather and Nato works great on the Tudor GMT, but for the Rolex I have yet to see anything other than the bracelet that works well with it. The problem is they have gone upscale and fancy with the BLRO so straps just don't match up well with it.

Much prefer as Rolex delivers the watch - on Jubilee (or even better if fitted to Sub Oyster brushed/Glidelock)

I only like different straps on older models. The Jubilee that it comes with is perfect for this model, IMO.

Looks great on the Nato! Really makes it unique!
