Quick release tabs for Rolex
Does anyone know of aftermarket straps with quick release tabs that you can put on a Rolex. I have read many threads about the blasphemy of taking the bracelet off a Rolex and wearing the watch on leather, rubber, or a NATO. When I see pictures of vintage Rolex on leather, I always think they look great but I like new things that don’t have to be babied. I like that modern Rolex is bulletproof but think it would be fun to take one of my ss tool watches off its OEM bracelet and have different straps for it like I can do with my Panerai. After reading many threads about scratching lugs and cases and bracelets I would prefer the experience without the risk of scratches. If anyone does this please post pictures. I think it would be fun to see how different forum members have personalized their watches.

I’d never use quick release spring bars for any Rolex….quick release means just that…way too easy to come undone and the watch to come loose.

Almost anything the right width will fit, but somewhere models have little clearance and can cut into the strap behind the bar.
I've only got one watch which can with QR spring bars. Never been annissue and the tab is very discreet.

Quick release is an option if the straps and bars are well made. What I mean is well enough to guard against the prong scratching you or catching on anything to inadvertently release.
Patek has gone to them on the newer straps. I was surprised earlier this year when my new strap came with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I love my vc overseas and ap diver quick release. Rolex needs to hurry up and get with the program. Half the fun of these watches is changing the shoes out

Not a fan of aftermarket bracelet/ straps on Rolex for some reason.

I think I’m mistaken. Thinking of someone else…

Tudors on the other hand look great on any strap/nato/bracelet you throw it on. |

You mean on your Cellini? Either way I wouldn't wear a non Rolex strap on it...
Thats the only Rolex that comes on a strap (not counting Oysterflex). |
