Strap for Datejust 36 Rolesor Everose Fluted / Jubilee / Silver Computer

The lug width of the Rolex Datejust 36 116231-0059 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two spring bar holes and is essential for ensuring compatibility with a replacement strap. It is important not to confuse lug width with the visible width of the worn strap: 20mm is the technical measurement of the seat, not the final thickness of the strap on the wrist.

For the Datejust 36 116231-0059, the most appropriate straps are alligator (dark brown, burgundy), vegetable-tanned calf leather (with patina developing over time) and shell cordovan (durable and with natural lustre). The choice depends on use: formal elegance suggests alligator or black calf; daily versatility favours dark brown calf with stainless steel deployante. The bi-colour rose gold and stainless steel case naturally pairs with warm tones (brown, burgundy) for colour harmony.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars using a dedicated tool. Simply push the spring bar gently inward to release the ends from the lug holes. Once both springs are disengaged, the strap detaches freely. To fit a new strap, insert the spring bars into the lug holes and verify that both are fully locked in place. If you lack experience, we recommend entrusting the operation to a professional watchmaker to avoid damage to the case or springs.

Yes, it is entirely possible. The Datejust 36 116231-0059 accepts any quality strap with a 20mm lug width, regardless of brand. In fact, it is an opportunity to personalise the watch according to your aesthetic taste and requirements. Milanostraps.it offers a selection of 20mm leather straps (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) handcrafted. For those seeking bespoke service, the Casati Milano atelier offers personalised in-house consultation and direct production follow-up via WhatsApp.

The durability of a leather strap depends on material quality, build quality and use. A quality alligator or shell cordovan strap can last 3-5 years with daily wear; vegetable-tanned calf develops a captivating patina in the first year and maintains functionality for 3-4 years. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects. To extend durability, we recommend rotating straps (allowing leather to breathe), protecting them from excessive moisture and conditioning them with specialist products 2-3 times per year. Vegetable-tanned leather ages magnificently: wear marks become part of the aesthetic character.
