of which i believe your case is YG with leather strap.

i also believe you can change to YG bracelet only.

I see. I suppose I will change it back to a leather strap to make it more wearable. Any recommendations?

[seiko.citizen]

up to you, i dont like leather because i wear it out like crazy, bracelet more long lasting so to speak

[djchris]

Any idea where I can get a good leather strap for the DJ in CBD?

Is there such a thing as genuine Rolex leather straps that I can purchase? Or should I be looking at third party straps?

[seiko.citizen]

again up to you. From my experience the rolex straps are not very well made, i manage to wear one within nine months

Just took it to a watchmaker to examine the bracelet and model. The screws on the links of the bracelet is spoilt. So cannot make the bracelet smaller for me. Probably change it to leather and wear.

The model is 16018, serial number is L85XXXX.

Phew...that means I am right...haha the watch is original solid gold

As for bracelet ah...let me ask you something la...do you want to keep it? I do have a suggestion if you want to sell it away,get another aftermarket bracelet for say 1-2k? I am not sure of the price also but there are aftermarket solid gold bracelets,just sell off this to a (NOTE) GOLD DEALER not the watch maker,and then go to the watch maker and buy the aftermarket bracelet. More or less you dun hav to pay much,maybe still got extra cash...

Genuine Rolex leather straps were not available at that era...so means dun hav. You should just look at third party straps. IF YOU WANT A LEATHER STRAP THAT IS.

I think I'll just keep my dad's bracelet and get a leather strap...even with a new after market bracelet, the gold is too bling for me...

Haha quite true...

[djchris]

Now is just whether black strap or brown strap better...

[seiko.citizen]

id say black, more fitting in any situation

[djchris]

In the end, I picked a brown strap...The salesperson recommended it because the dark brown compliments the gold better.

I do have another gold russian watch with a black strap if needed.

[Oceanklassik]

Gd to show us pics. Both watches? Thks .

[djchris]

very nice, now all it needs is a nice polish, oiling session, and it will be ever ready to tick for another 30yrs (at least)
