Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Rolex Lady-Datejust 279173-0002?
The Rolex Lady-Datejust 279173-0002 has a lug width of 14mm. This measurement is specific to the 28mm Lady-Datejust family and requires straps with a 14mm attachment — not interchangeable with the 36mm or 41mm Datejust variants.
What is the best strap for the Rolex Lady-Datejust 279173-0002?
For the 279173-0002 in yellow Rolesor, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap in cognac, bordeaux, or forest green complements the gold tone effectively. For everyday wear, box calf leather or shell cordovan offer both longevity and refinement. All straps must be made with a 14mm attachment.
How do you change the strap on a Rolex Lady-Datejust 279173-0002?
Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool to release the spring bars securing the strap to the 28mm Oyster case lugs. Work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the Oystersteel and yellow gold case. If in doubt, consult a watchmaker or book an appointment at Casati Milano atelier.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Rolex Lady-Datejust 279173-0002?
Yes. Any strap with a 14mm attachment is compatible with the Lady-Datejust 279173-0002. Milano Straps crafts bespoke straps in this specific lug width, available in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, and rubber, with customisable finishes and stitching tailored to Rolex lug geometry.
How long does a leather strap last on a Rolex Lady-Datejust 279173-0002?
Longevity depends on the material and conditions of use. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap, properly maintained by avoiding prolonged contact with water and perspiration and treated periodically with leather conditioner, typically lasts 2–4 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan tends to last longer due to its denser fibre structure. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
