Date 115200-0008— lug 19mm

The Rolex Date 115200-0008 features a lug width of exactly 19mm, measured from the inner edge on the left to the inner edge on the right. This measurement is specific to the 34mm case diameter and is not variable; any compatible strap must measure precisely 19mm, otherwise it will not fit correctly onto the case's lug pins.

The ideal strap depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal wear: natural alligator with vegetable tanning or dark brown box calf. For daily wear: Shell Cordovan, which develops beautiful patina over time. For sporty-casual style: cotton-nylon NATO or rubber Oysterflex. The buckle should always be a steel deployante clasp for security and convenience.

Gently grasp the strap on one side and push inward one of the two lug pins with a flat tool (or a dedicated Rolex tool). Extract the pin and repeat on the other side. To install the new strap, align the holes and reinsert the pins from the outside toward the inside until you feel a click. Verify that the strap is secure and symmetrical relative to the case.

Yes, provided the measurement is certified at exactly 19mm. Handcrafted straps from Casati Milano and milanostraps.it are produced to measure with a tolerance of ±0.1mm to guarantee compatibility. We always recommend verifying the technical specifications before ordering and contacting us if you have any doubts about compatibility.

Durability depends on material and usage. High-quality vegetable-tanned alligator resists 4–6 years of daily wear without significant deterioration. Box calf lasts 3–5 years. Shell Cordovan, thanks to its natural grain structure, can last 5–7 years. All Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects; natural leather wear is considered patina, not a defect.
