Post was a long time coming :)

Just wanted to share some pics as I recently changed my strap. What do you guys think ? :D I wanted to match the vintage look.

Got this as my first rolex from OldExpatBeast here in HK =] great person, deal with confidence.

Well IMHO most all Rolex watches look better on there original bracelets or something like a Bond type Nato but if you like that's all that matters.

I did try it with the black leather but i think the tan one gives it a more vintage feel. :)
