Personally, I really don't like the result, for me, a datejust is on oyster or jubilee...nothing else.

Looks good. I've been contemplating putting a brown croc strap on my TT DJ

I like it as a changeup, but I would prefer the bracelet 90% of the time.

Do not like leather straps on any watch.

Honesty is what I'm after Gents!! One more shot. I want a new watch but don't want to buy one, so I'm tweaking my current collection. I'm on the fence about this strap. I do prefer the SS though....

This is a sporty watch (big and thick) and strap does not look good on it in my opinion. If you are leaning toward a dressier watch on a strap you would need to get something else (say Patek calatrava or similar)

It really dresses up the watch nicely. I like it. And, you can wear the bracelet for a sporty look.

In the first picture the strap looks a little bit wide by a couple of mill. Other than that i think the face colour (color) is a good match with the strap.

I definitely think the endlinks would add something to it and kind of "finish it off". That being said, it looks great as it is! Love the versatility of the DJII

So, what makes you different from the rest of us ? ! ;)

Honestly, except for that special DD colelction out last year, and certain Daytona's, I prefer Rolex's on a bracelet.

Proper end links may improve the look, maybe a little more beef to the strap.

Looks good! I think the bracelet ultimately looks better, but it's great to mix it up and give your bracelet a rest sometimes.

Datejusts look better on the bracelets IMHO; however, your strap is not bad at all and certainly would be a nice change, if change is what you are after.

I like it.

I have done the same thing before (bought new strap to get the feel of a new watch). Amazing how well it works considering the low cost.

It looks good. You may want to try a tan croc strap with white stitching. It will bring out the blue in the dial nicely.

I understand there are those out there that think Rolexes only look good on bracelets - and I respect their opinion. But seeing them on straps and NATOs is great! Almost all models!

Love it! Looks great. Blue gator with blue stitching is perfect for it!

I disagree about the end links.....the wide smooth bezel is front and center with the current set up. End links would spoil that, IMO.



EDIT: now having gone back and looked, I actually like this look for this particular DJII better on this strap than the oyster.

Looks OK but would look even better with endlinks IMO.
