GetReplicaWatches Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi guys, Hope your week is going well! My first ever Replica was a pretty cruddy Milgauss (with the whole green tinge crystal glass). I've never really been into modding my watches to any extent. However, I'm really considering putting a leather strap on the Milgauss just to change it up a little. I've looked online for straps (I believe the lugs are 20mm), and found some nice ones. However, I'd prefer to go down the leather strap W/Clasp route. So, I suppose my overall question would be. How difficult is it to remove the clasp from the steel bracelet, and put it onto a leather strap? Is it even possible without a totally custom strap? Look forward to your views. ALSO: Any strap recommendations or opinions are gladly accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Normally I´d say just use the leatherband with a standard or (rep) Rolex buckle, if You want You find a deployant clasp as well. Some places to have a look are strappedfortime and watchbandcenter.com for deployants and straps, I´d recommend Martu straps for a nice vintage leather (ships the week it´s ordered) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffindodger Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 IMO don't put a leather strap on a Rolex it looks crap. I have put a couple on mine over time and to be honest they all look s**t Rolex sell their watches on bracelets because thats how they look best. many people try their Rolexs with natos and leather straps but if they were honest they would tell you that they never look right So don't bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Not sure I'd agree with the no strap Rolex look, this one is awesome imo and gets plenty of wrist time too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetReplicaWatches Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'm currently looking at a Green Shark Skin leather strap to compliment the green tinge in the crystal. Saw a similar idea on Google Images, and really loved it. I'll see if I can find the image.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yesterday was visiting the rafflestime store and they sell the R-buckle if You want to get one later on. Imo the green shark skin looks awesome and much compliments the watch. As for straps on R. very generally I think they look great and may be very comfortable. Using straps longterm all the time, not on all, but on some:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
