Very nice, brudda!
I think it's a really good alternative when you don't want to use the Oyster.
(Now get that black carbon fiber with red stitch!) I think I still prefer the bracelet (can't believe how many people whinge about the Oyster, clasp, etc!) but that strap is nice! Last edited by Southern Jessie; 30 November 2005 at 07:35 AM.. |

Hi.
I like the strap. It seems like a whole different watch. I also was thinking how one of these would look on it especially the black one although I have also seen a black dial watch with a brown alligator.
i.e. I tried this brown alligator on my moonwatch.: |

such a beautiful watch, it is one stealthy looking rolex that doesnt get as much love as the white dial on the boards these days.

Hmmmmm. I like it with the strap. I like it with the bracelet too. I think it depends on what you are wearing it with. BTW: my 500th post.

Wow, Johnny!
Amazing. You made your Explorer look just like a TAG! Just kidding, looks nice, good choice. Now how about a shot of the clasp arrangement so we can all toast your fine taste in time pieces. Any excuse for a drink....heh,heh! |

Yes John the strap works,but prefer the bracelet, but IMO some watches like say Panerai always look better on leather.

a toothpick wood or plastic.And if you use something metal, a little tape to protect around the lugs will help prevent scratches.

Hammer, they are pretty easy. I think a black strap with white stitching, like mine, would really compliment the white dial. I got this strap at www.watchprince.com and their service and selection are awesome! I put some celo-tape on the lugs (I have the exposed lug holes) and used a paper clip to push the spring bars in. With my thumb, while depressing the spring bar, I pushed down on the end link and you can feel it move, like half a mm. Do the same on the other side (which is now harder cuz you don't have a bracelet to push against) and it'll move and pop, it comes off. BTW, those Rolex spring bars are massively beefy!
