I prefer the oyster bracelet myself, but it's ok. I'd give it a 7 out of 10

It looks great, but I do prefer the oyster bracelet. I like it for an occasional change though.

Thanks so much for everyone's opinion, I value them all! As far as the end links, I have never cared for those. I believe in all strap or all bracelet, I've never been a fan of that little bit of bracelet showing. This strap is very temporary, just a little playing around. It's getting me by til I can see the unveiling at Basel. Then......I will strike!

I like it, looks great....I prefer the non end link look on a watch with a strap.

End links for a strap.....

If you search this Addicted to custom making end links In the Rolex forum, you'll find some impressive looking end links for straps.

I like it and would like it more with end links. I wouldn't buy one without the proper metal bracelet however.

I like this look and I personally don't think you need the endinks. It's a dress watch - why not? The bracelet of course looks great but I think the occasional use of a strap is a great idea.

I prefer strap over bracelet on all watches, sans end links. Is that blue stitch on brown? Did you have that made?

I think I kinda like it. That blue croco is hot. But, like many others have said - with the endlinks you could get a more OEM look.

Most important is you like this configuration, imho the bracelet works nicely. Enjoy the new look!

I like the DJ on a strap, makes it dressier, IMHO.

I think it looks good, but do wonder what a strap and end links might look like...

For me, it destroys the classic look. Not a fan. But, if you dig it, then that's all that matters.

Good try. If it is as easy as PAM to change straps, I would love to do so with my DJ2 as I do to my PAM. My DJ2 will have a new look once in a while and I can choose the straps that match with my clothes, cap, shoes etc. Wonderful!

I like the black leather and blue thread. I'd wear it.
