I started out with a 16610. Got a 116710 and later sold it. Bought several Panerai because I love the straps. Probable have too much money invested in straps, but oh well.

Since I got this explorer and put it on a NATO....Rolex is really talking to me. The bracelet is great, but I'm a strap guy. Really looking forward to some of the new makers of end links. That will give me even more strap options. Just orders about 5 more natos today....maybe I should get another Rolex for this natos! Think that is a high possibility!

Post picks of your Rolex on natos and straps!

One could always use another Rolex.

18mm NATO is a nice touch too!

I'm drinking from the firehose now regarding vintage. Vintage Rolex is complicated to say the least. Also, I'm finding the pieces I want are north of my budget! Doh!!! Maybe one day.

When you get to that point plenty of us would be more than happy to help my friend.

Not a strap guy but man those pics are sweet.

bridgs · 23 July 2013, 11:57 AM

Each one of your pieces is sight to behold Connor. The gold sub is especially sweet to my eyes.

Keep the caveman avatars. I dig em.

gfxbt · 23 July 2013, 01:56 PM

I like it on orange. No one every suspects it's a Rolex.

psv · 23 July 2013, 02:04 PM

I agree completely, straps are great even if I'm a bracelet guy at heart, but trying new stuff is fun.

I also suggest trying the Exp39 on a vintage style leather

Sub on Isofrane

Love the DSSD on Isofrane as well

uscmatt99 · 23 July 2013, 02:49 PM

Nice straps everyone. psv, you've inspired me to seek out a leather strap for the Exp1.

My sister asked me for birthday gift ideas, and I told her to look up 20mm NATO and pick one. Here's what she came up with

I have flipped my way through the Rolex catalog over the years. One thing I've been able to do is hone my tastes

I like that no one knows its a Rolex. Funny though, people at work notice the natos. Have had several remarks already. No one ever notices.

Great shots Patrick! Many good ideas there, and you are making that DSSD look good.
