So I have a TT DJ with blue dial that was handed down to me. TT is flashy as phuk...especially with the jubilee bracelet. I put on a black faux gator strap with white stitching but I'd like to dress it down a bit more. Saw these examples on IG...what do you guys think? I really like the rough look of the leather as opposed to a smooth type. Any other suggestions?    |

The rough texture is not working for me, but I think the color is good for a blue dial.
MAybe something padded if you are looking for something more casual or sporty?

Definitely too rustic. I would suggest something like this tobacco coloured buffalo tectured strap...  There are enough reds in the darker brown to perfectly compliment the cream in your dial chinathumbsup.gif |

Thick padded is the only way to go with a vintage DJ on a strap. Eliminating the 'gap' is essential to my eye. There's a guy making SS and TT DJ end links for use with a strap for about $100 over on another Forum. PM me if you need the info.  |

Do you have a picture of the actual watch?
With a blue dial you would almost be forced to wear in on a SS bracelet.

Buffalo Tobacco goes with everything unless it is a Blue E Cig

Try formfunctionform.com/product/button-stud-watchband/Check out the Blue Ink Cavalier and Blue Suede colors, they would look pretty good in my opinion. $48 and they ship from Orlando.  Also the football suede is pretty cool too. If you order two the second one is 25% off.  You can pick the color of the button as well (SS, Gold or Black) |

I for one find the rustic look just 'wrong' for top end Swiss Watches, the Rolex Datejust as a prime example. Like flat paint on a Rolls Royce !
