What do you think of this Date Just with a Brown or Black Strap ?

[Ristretto]

Hello Guys,

I am really opening up to owning a dressier Rolex and I really love this datejust with the white dial and roman lettering in gold. However I dont want a bracelet would you think this watch could pull of a black alligator strap or a brown strap ?




I am just thinking out loud.

Your thoughts

Can you get that dial on a SS datejust ?

No question. Brown, everyday. Black, dressy. I take my DD bracelet off and swap for alligator sometimes. Looks great.

Wont the Gold link under the bezel interfere with the look ?

Does anyone have a similar looking example ?

There won't be a gold end-link there because the leather strap will require its removal. You can have custom links made but really not necessary...

Here's an example of how it looks

Either works imo

It's such a stunning reference as it is! And yes, that dial is offered on the SS version. I have the combo in SS/WG.

Could you post a pic, if its in SS I would prefer it. I am not a fan of gold or two tone watches.

Get yourself a curved end strap or the Etur end links to eliminate 'the gap' to make the Datejust look properly finished if mounting on a strap. Check out the Rolex catalogs and that's how DJ's and DD's are sent from the factory on leather.

Both work but bracelet best
