116515 LN leather strap Help Needed on how to convert to gold strap or aftermarket?

[izmaylovo]

Hello,

I have have a Rolex Daytona Rose Gold with the black leather strap Model 116515LN ASIN: B0079GD2QM.

I went to the Rolex store, since I wanted to change it to a gold strap, since the leather Strap does not last long.

I was shocked when they told me that my model can only fit a leather straps.

Can anyone please tell me how to convert this particular watch so I can install a Metal/Gold Strap?

Is there anyone which sells or knows off an aftermarket place or store which sells straps that fit that model?

I live in Los Angeles.

All your help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

David

Any strap will fit the case just as any other watch, the exception is at the clasp. Rolex straps are made to accept their particular clasp, and that is re-used with every new strap. Get a strap with it's own clasp/buckle and you are good to go.

To convert to a bracelet you need to pull the bezel and remove the gap-inserts underneath. Return the bezel and you can then put on a bracelet.

Because the strap is simply between the case and clasp with no real wear areas, they should easily last a couple of years. Unless you are into really exotic straps, they're no more expensive than a good pair of shoes..
