Rolex Explorer on Leather

If I recall someone wanted a picture of an Explorer on Leather? Pics do not do justice though.

Cool. I've seen a few music celebrities wearing Rolex on leather straps, but the straps are very wide. Anyway, kind of cool I guess.

Looks fantastic Kyle...

I once saw a picture of the Explorer on a brown strap as well, and it looked surprisingly good..

I would imagine the Explorer would look great on Brown leather! Mind you, it would look good on anything.
Loving my Milgauss as I do, which I have had for just over a month, I can't help but wonder if the Explorere should maybe have been my first Rolex.
It looks great on that black leather strap!

cheers,
Carl

Looks perfect!

Gimme, gimme, gimme. A fab combination. I've got a '68 Speedy and the bracelet went AWOL decades ago. Now have it with black leather and it looks great too.
