Strap for Datejust 36 Rolesor Yellow Diamond / Oyster / Silver Computer

The lug width of the Rolex Datejust 36 116243-0035 is 20 millimetres. This dimension represents the space between the two lateral lugs of the case and is decisive for strap compatibility. A 20mm strap positions perfectly without play or forcing.

For the Rolex Datejust 36 116243-0035, we recommend black or cognac alligator for formal elegance, bordeaux shell cordovan for patina that evolves over time, or vegetable-tanned leather for artisanal authenticity. The choice depends on daily use and your personal colour palette. Each material requires specific craftsmanship to adapt to the straight, flared lugs of this model.

Removing the strap requires extraction of the spring bars that connect the strap to the lugs. A dedicated tool compresses the bar slightly on one side, freeing the strap. The reverse procedure allows the new strap to be fitted. We recommend having a professional watchmaker perform this operation to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, any strap with the appropriate termination for a 20mm lug width is compatible. Verify that the width is actually 20 millimetres using a digital calliper and that the lug profile (fishtail or shouldered) matches your lugs. Casati Milano straps are constructed specifically for this reference with artisanal tolerances.

A quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) lasts between 5 and 8 years of daily use with ordinary maintenance: gentle cleaning, rapid drying after moisture exposure, avoiding prolonged humidity. Duration increases significantly if worn on alternate days. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months against manufacturing defects and offers restoration and maintenance services.
