I will be purchasing my 1st Rolex tomorrow (used) and am looking for a site to buy leather watch bands. Any suggestions?
Leather watchband for Rolex Submariner

This is a black Horween cordovan that I like on this older Rolex. It's supposed to be pretty waterproof but I would re-install the bracelet if I planned to use it water. Fluco has reasonable prices, some vendors are ridiculously overpriced.
I purchased a leather strap from Toshi (http://www.toshi-straps.co.uk/) for an older Oris. It took a while to receive, but I'm very pleased with it.
I like BOB STRAPS. Well made, quality strap from Germany.....

Thanks to all for the messages...does anyone know the lug width of my Submariner? Are they all the same?
Well....Not knowing the year? Most likely 20mm. Go by Wal-Mart or K-Mart and hold it up to the chart....In the jewelery department.
It's got 20mm lugs. And IMO it would look best on a leather nato!
Unless it's a newer "used" which is 22mm. like my GMT.....better safe than sorry...or is it over two years old?
Over two is 20mm.
Not to hijack, but I've been curious how Submariner is supposed to be pronounced. Do you pronounce it like the baseball team the Mariners or like submarine?
like the baseball team........
Kool, that is how I say it in my head. I am glad I won't have to learn to think it a different way.
New to forum, sorry for being "late" on the post, my suggestion would be NOT to get a leather watch band. Subs are a diving watch, and I think the mis-match of a dive rated case with a leather strap is like putting 22inch Rims on a 88 Ford escort. IMO!
