DJ41 on leather???

Anyone out there with pics of the DJ41 on a leather strap? I’ve narrowed down the dial to either the rhodium or silver to add a lighter colored dial to my otherwise all black dual collection. Love the jubilee bracelet but feel like fluted bezel and jubilee combo is a little on the dressy and blingy side. But fluted and leather combo I think would tone it down a bit.

Side note, I actually like the look of the smooth bezel and jubilee combo but feel like the smooth bezel with a strap could be a little bland. So if I were to exclusively keep it on jubilee, I think I would go with the smooth bezel.

Anyway, hope there are folks out there that have done this mod and provide me with inspiration. Thanks!

I had a custom strap made up for mine to use on the Rolex clasp. I had a smooth bezel as I am not a fan of the fluted. My configuration was more on the casual side with the shade and type of leather I chose.

Very nice looking, was the clasp easy to source?

Pulled from another thread, but it's a great look when you find the band that compliments it well

Blue dial and brown strap looks so great...reminds me of my first “real watch” I bought as a kid. It was a Fossil.

Took the clasp off the oyster it came with. Wouldn’t be hard to flip back and forth.

Got my DJ 41 yesterday. I think it would look great on the right strap. It’s a versatile piece dressed up or down. The silver dial is timeless.IMG_0245.JPG

Not a 41, but my DJ2 before I sold it, similar looking enough to give you an idea.

Beautiful, did you have the Rolex clasp on this strap?
