What I'm asked about the Rolex Day-Date 68238

What strap size does the Rolex Day-Date 68238 take?

The Rolex Day-Date 68238 needs 17 mm between the lugs. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the Rolex Day-Date 68238 be changed?

Yes, and easily: the lugs are drilled, so the spring bar is pushed out from the outside with a thin pin, without opening anything. If you prefer, I do it in the workshop.

Can I put a leather strap on the Rolex Day-Date 68238?

Yes, in 17 mm leather. On a 31 mm case a calf strap works every day; if you want something more, alligator.

Which strap do you recommend for the Rolex Day-Date 68238?

A 17 mm calf strap, for every day. I don't keep this size ready in the catalogue: I make it to measure. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find a 17 mm strap for the Rolex Day-Date 68238?
