Rolex Submariner Two-Tone Leather Band Help

I have had my Blue Two-Tone Sub for quite a while now, I wanted to try out a leather band. I just can't find one that I think would look right. Any Suggestions?

I would Really Appreciate any help

Below is a Pic of the watch in question, along with my regular Daily carry Items (thought this pic is more interestin)

A light tan would look good. Something with some "grain" in the leather. I saw one like that once and I thought it looked great. I actually prefer my sub on a leather strap.

Very Striking, Great Idea, a bit too flashy for my personal taste, but it looks amazing

I have seen the Hirsch Leonardo straps, would the 20/18mm Principal fit my Watch?

I think the Golden Brown would look nice

Love the head on blue NATO. Never would have thought about that one.

You can make a Leonardo work, but it's a better fit on a Speedy Pro. I believe you may have to drill out the springbar holes on a Leonardo for Sub springbars.

Tan gator would go well with the blue and gold. This one is at debeerwatchbands.com and is going on my TT GMT ceramic when it's back from RSC for full service...





Hirsch has a curved end blue shark that you can get from watchstyle.com...





Here's the black version on my ExpII...





If you get a straight-end, you may want to consider the custom-made end links that member Etur offers for the no-gap look...

Be sure to get a deployant clasp for whatever strap you get.

BTW, I'm guessing you're not going thru TSA security 2-4 times/week if those are your daily carry items!
