I did try the strap version, my partner quite liked it...with the ivory dial. Which is a lovely dial, at least to my taste.
In the wider range, the gold/leather strap combo I like most is the 36mm Day-Date. Very elegant watch. Or the modern Cellini, which, for me, is the best-looking watch Rolex make. Doesn't sell well, but that's no sin.
