Share your Rolex Submariner with leather strap!

I have the 18k submariner but I think I am going to add the stainless to the collection. I am leaning towards the older version with engraved rehaut. Something about the sub on a brown strap sings to me!

If fellow members wouldn't mind sharing some photos of their sub on a leather strap and possibly direct me where the best place would be to get it dialed in after purchase it would be much appreciated!

Check out stonecreekstraps in Mesa AZ. Simple Google search. They will make whatever you want with leather or exotic hides. Very high quality and unique looks.

Appreciate your input here fellas. Some good looking subs you have there.

I will give them a call and see what they can put together for me. Sounds like they are the ticket this madness. I had the dark brown similar to the one south texas has that stuck in my mind but after seeing the others I may have to get an assortment!

Keep em comin...

The one in my pic is a Hadley Roma "oil tan brown leather", about $20 at a jewelry store.

Here's a 5513 on DiModell Rallye tropical strap. Strap is highly water/moisture resistant and costs about $40-45.

I'm not a fan of black dial with brown strap. Prefer black, tan and cordovan colors with black (or champagne) dials.

GMTs on custom tan gator, hirsch black carbon and di-model black shark, plus a serti sub on rios mahogany heritage...

It is a good thing we are addicted to watches and not drugs... The enabling that goes on here is out of bounds



Thanks to Alfred a fellow member on here I should have the M serial by end of week! I like the old style better than the new...
