What I'm asked about the Rolex Explorer II 226570

What strap size does the Rolex Explorer II 226570 take?

The Rolex Explorer II 226570 needs 22 mm between the lugs. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the Rolex Explorer II 226570 be changed?

Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.

Can I put a leather strap on the Rolex Explorer II 226570?

Yes, in 22 mm leather. On a 42 mm case a calf strap works every day; if you want something more, alligator.

Which strap do you recommend for the Rolex Explorer II 226570?

A 22 mm calf strap, for every day. You'll find it ready in the 22 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.
