Strap for Datejust 36 Rolesor Yellow Fluted / Jubilee / Champagne Roman

The lug width is 20mm. This is the standard measurement between the inner points of the two lugs on the case. A 20mm strap is the only compatible size for this model. Note: do not confuse this with the strap width at the wrist, which depends on case shape and lug design.

The best choice depends on personal use and aesthetic preference. Dark brown alligator is the classic choice that pairs perfectly with the two-tone case and blue Sunburst dial. Shell cordovan is ideal if you desire a patina that evolves over time. Vegetable-tanned calf offers daily practicality and minimal maintenance. For those preferring sportiness, black rubber is durable and versatile.

The strap is removed using a spring bar tool, inserted into the small holes on the lugs from the underside of the case. Push gently to extract the retaining pin (spring bar). Never force it, to avoid scratching the case. If unsure, consult an authorised Rolex dealer or specialist watchmaker.

Yes, provided it has a 20mm lug width and correct construction tolerances (±0.5mm). Artisan-quality straps from specialist brands like Casati Milano are compatible and often superior in materials, finishing and comfort. Compatibility is a matter of measurements, not brand.

Durability varies by material and use. Alligator and shell cordovan last 3-5 years with daily wear and minimal maintenance. Vegetable-tanned calf reaches 2-3 years. Rubber lasts 5-7 years with no visible deterioration. Regular maintenance—drying after water contact, annual conditioning—significantly extends lifespan.
