    Recent arrival, recommend me a strap

    Evening all, this appeared for me at some stage this weekend, thanks to Paul.

    My first Rolex and in excellent nick, especially being nearly 46 years young! I was contemplating putting a strap on and using some of those natty end links to fill the gap. Has any one done this on a Datejust?

    Anyway, i'm super happy with the watch.

    Can someone tell me the best way to embed images/kindly do it for me?

    EDIT: beaten to it. :)

    I am! I was a bit worried that it was going to seem a bit small but I think its perfect.

    Congratulations on a beautiful specimen, rico! The Datejust has grown on me a lot in the last 6 months, and I actually think it suits that bracelet best. I'd be tempted to try it on a NATO strap, to be honest, but I'm sure it'd be back on the bracelet rather quickly. Might have to get myself one, with all these beauties floating around SC.

    Anything but a NATO please.... the datejust is a dressy watch, and deserves a nice quality leather strap. Maybe alligator or lizard.

    Here's a similar watch from a google search

    That is what I have in mind. Never really got my head around NATO straps to be honest!
