    Can anyone help with ideas or suggestions where I can find a nice strap for this watch? I would prefer a Rolex original strap...

    Today I use the Rolex strap that is provided by the Rolex Service Center, but it's not the greatest strap I've seen...

    I browsed the Rolex site, but cannot find a collection of Rolex straps, am I looking in the wrong place?
    (lug with is 19mm)

    Molequin are some of the best quality for the price I’ve come across. A taupe grained calfskin strap would look amazing on that watch.

    Tnx, I didn't know these yet! They look good indeed.
    What I'm missing on their site is pictures on a gold watch... all straps are presented on steel watches. I'm thinking about Taupe/Chocolate/Black, but have a hard time imagining what will look better.

    @borre Here are some taupe, chocolate and black strap options from NOSTIME, I tried them on a 18k 1005. Hope it helps!

    Welp, nevermind. They said they don't have any pictures of that strap on a gold watch. Crazy because I know it would be a killer combo

    the classic Burgundy or light brown crocogator perhaps.

    or even something more exotic like shark or snake (or "whisper" elephant).
