I found it at the link below but I don't think it's cheap. It looks like they are custom made to order based on the skin of your choice.

Contrary to popular belief, alligator is not a large lizard.

Yep, good catch. Fair correction. It’s Rolex LIZARD — not alligator. Sorry for any confusion.

Very courageous to share this overwhelmingly minority opinion. Ha.

Sport models don’t go well with leather (gator, lizard or otherwise) straps IMHO, especially the larger cased ones. I’m ok with utility straps, like the NATO however.

I am not a fan of leather on Rolex watches. An oyster bracelet is the way to go with this GMT model.

The modern oyster bracelet IMO is one of the best bracelets in the industry, so i would keep it on that. Aftermarket bands work better on Omegas with their "quirky" original bracelet designs

Some watches look great on a variety of straps (Omegas, Grand Seikos etc).....but IMO a Rolex just never looks good off it’s factory setup.

I don’t like that at all. I’m sorry to say, but that looks awful IMO. The TT bracelet is gorgeous and elevates the brown/black bezel immeasurably.

I think that looks pretty sharp. And it doesn't look like every other Sub.
