Strap for Datejust 36 Rolesor Yellow Fluted / Oyster / Black Diamond

The lug width of the Rolex Datejust 36 116233-0175 is 20 mm. This measurement is taken internally between the two case lugs using a calliper gauge. It is the standard measurement for the entire Datejust 36 family and determines compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

For the Datejust 36 116233-0175, with its two-tone Rolesor construction in yellow gold and steel, an alligator strap in vegetable-tanned leather in cognac or bordeaux tones best complements the yellow gold bezel and champagne dial. For everyday wear, a black or midnight blue bombé calf leather strap offers an elegant and understated profile. A deployant clasp in steel and yellow gold completes the pairing by echoing the case's bimaterial construction.

To remove the original bracelet or an existing strap from the Rolex Datejust 36, a spring bar tool or a pointed pin pusher is required. The spring bar runs internally through the lugs and is compressed laterally to release. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case. If in doubt, entrust the task to a watchmaker or to the Casati Milano atelier for professional fitting.

Yes. Any strap with a 20 mm lug width and ends shaped to match the curvature of Rolex lugs is compatible with the Datejust 36 116233-0175. On milanostraps.it, a selection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and rubber is available, specifically made for this width, with a customisation option at the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, care and frequency of use. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, kept away from water and excessive perspiration and stored correctly, typically lasts between three and five years while retaining its structural integrity and characteristic patina. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects.
