Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Rolex Lady-Datejust 179161-0037?
The lug width of the Rolex Lady-Datejust 179161-0037 is 13 mm. This is the internal measurement between the two lugs of the case, which determines the exact width of the compatible strap. It is recommended to verify this measurement using a digital calliper placed directly against the case.
What is the best strap for the Rolex Lady-Datejust 179161-0037?
For the Lady-Datejust 179161-0037 in Rolesor Everose, straps in vegetable-tanned alligator in bordeaux or cognac tones best complement the warm hues of the 18ct rose gold. Shell cordovan in natural tan is an equally refined alternative. For sporting or summer use, a vulcanised rubber strap in 13 mm width provides water resistance without compromising the watch's luxury character.
How do you change the strap on a Rolex Lady-Datejust 179161-0037?
To replace the strap on the Lady-Datejust 179161-0037, a dedicated spring bar tool or a flat-head precision screwdriver is required to compress the spring bar inside the lug. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to protect the case, and to use 13 mm stainless steel spring bars with a diameter appropriate to the thickness of the Rolex lug.

How long does a leather strap last on a Rolex Lady-Datejust 179161-0037?
