Strap for Day-Date 36 Everose / Strap / Pink Computer

The lug width of the Rolex Day-Date 36 118135-0066 is 20mm. This measurement, taken from the inside of the left lug tube to the inside of the right lug tube, is specific to this generation of Datejust and Day-Date models. Always verify the measurement with a digital calliper on your lugs before purchasing a replacement strap.

Structured alligator remains the most elegant choice for the 118135-0066: the natural texture of the scales, with pronounced grain and a developing patina over time, emphasises the warmth of Everose gold. Valid alternatives include Italian vegetable-tanned box calf for a more casual aesthetic, or natural silk NATO for summer months. Premium rubber is ideal for sporting contexts.

Use a spring bar tool to gently compress the internal elastic tubes of the lugs. Remove the old strap by pushing the spring bar toward the centre of the case and extracting the metal tube. Replace it with the new one carefully: the 36mm is not as robust as sport models. If unsure, contact Casati Milano atelier for professional replacement.

Yes, provided the lug width is 20mm. However, not all straps of this width have the thickness and build quality appropriate to your watch's value. We recommend only artisanal straps with double-button deployante or precious metal ardillon. Avoid generic models: the Day-Date deserves bespoke craftsmanship that reflects your investment.

A quality leather strap, made from vegetable-tanned leather, typically lasts between 18 and 36 months depending on daily wear and care. Alligator straps tend to last longer thanks to the scale structure that resists wear better. Key factors include sweat exposure, UV exposure, and frequency of use. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects and can guide you on maintenance.
