Greetings!
Hi everyone! I am a lucky owner of a 1971 Rolex Date 1500 that my father gave to me. I grew up seeing it all the time and I'm glad it has become mine. It has a US made rivet bracelet that is certainly STRETCHED. So I'm here to find a great 19mm NATO leather replacement.(I've seen the Crown & Buckle version, but I want something that keeps the watch in place on the band)
I could easily grab a two piece leather strap from the local jeweler, but I REALLY like the look of the NATO style. I wouldn't be opposed to a nylon NATO either, but I think a brown leather NATO would look amazing. Cheers! http://i.imgur.com/JrMofMs.jpg Here is a pic from a few months ago before I cleaned up the bracelet. Mag bubble is scuffed a bit. |

Welcome to the forum! If you want to have the bracelet repaired you should do a search for a guy named Michael Young. He will fix it up for you for a reasonable price.
