Leather/Rubber options for my DJII

I've been looking around for a while and can't seem to find anything. Can anyone recommend a few good brands that make leather or rubber straps for a DJII.

Take a look at Hirsch... they have some great straps with curved ends to snugly fit against the case, and reduce any gapping that may occur. I have several from them that look great

I see the curved end straps on their site, but they all seem to be 20 or 22 mm. DJ2 is 21mm. Which do you have?

Take a look at Jean Rousseau. I just picked up a alligator strap for my DD. Excellent quality!
And they do Bespoke orders so you can get something custom for the DJ2.

The Rousseau leather band above looks amazing. I would keep it simple and avoid different colored stitching too. Also, go leather, not rubber.

Can you retrofit a rolex clasp on hirsch? Any company that you can do that with?

For me, leather on a DJII just doesn't make sense. It'd be back to the bracelet after just a week or two and I'd have spent the money foolishly. I've got a leather strap with deployant for my TBBR and it hardly gets used. Also have rubber for my Breitling SO and again the same thing. Not sure what is motivating the purchase but I know it wouldn't work for me.
