Rolex Ex 2 RED HAND version
sadly my explorer 2 needs a new band the old one has worn out from my playing with it too much. Even sadder im not in a position to buy a gen rolex band at the moment. With the after market stainless look good on it . Never really been a fan of the SEL originally it had that old clanky band the would rattle.
also what is the width for the band 20mm or 19mm? |

Put it on a strap/nato or something, and keep saving for original band.

Go with a NATO instead of buying an off-brand bracelet. It will look great.

I'm in the NATO camp for your replacement - but if you don't like the SEL bracelet then not sure you'll want to spend the $$$ for a new one.

Why not send it to Michael young? I heard he can bring just about any bracelet back to new condition for about $300. Much less than a new one
