Rootbeer on a Combat Strap. Thank you Aaron!

Just came back from Aaron’s shop (Combat Straps) with this Espresso Horween for my CHNR. Absolutely love it..

That is a beautiful strap, do you mind me asking how much did you pay for it?

Great!! What are the endlinks? Were they difficult to fit with the strap?

Love it. Just left Aaron a message. Did you use the original clasp? How about the end links?

The end links are provided by Aaron and took 30 seconds to install, very easy! I did use the original clasp and price will vary depending on how much you order but for the quality of work the price is amazing!

Reminds me of when the CHNR was released, met a women picking up her CHNR. Told the SA she was getting a leather strap just to match her new bag. Didn’t want the date or time set.

Doesn't look like photoshop to me at all. If someone wants a strap for while, so what as long as it makes them happy. Their watch and their wrist!!!

It’s good to change the look up. Not sure I would have used the original clasp though. Tougher to switch out.

Great look, IMHO. I think the unique colors of the CHNR wil work well with almost any brown-colored strap. YMMV

I ended up choosing the Espresso Horween but had these as possible options!
Alligator and Ostrich

Yeah, if there's any Rolex that screams for a brown leather strap, that's the one.

If I ever pick up one of these, it'll be on a brown alligator strap right away.

Nice... Im another bracelet only kind of guy but with the colors of the Chnr it seems like a natural for that strap you have. Rich and classy looking. Enjoy!!...

Aaron is the best! I have bought 4 straps from him for my current and previous PAMs. His work is unmatched!
