Watch straps for other Rolex models

In addition to the Datejust, Explorer, Submariner, and GMT-Master II, many other Rolex models can also be customised with an alternative watch strap.

Especially classic Rolex watches can take on a completely new character with high-quality calfskin, alligator leather, Shell Cordovan, or vintage leather.

The construction of the lug connection and the required lug width vary depending on the model, reference, and year of manufacture. Therefore, please check before ordering whether a straight watch strap is suitable for your specific Rolex.
