Rolex · Day-Date 36
Ref. 1183480008
The Rolex Day-Date 36 Yellow Gold Diamonds / President / Silver Diamonds takes a 20 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. We list 37 straps in that width. A dress watch by proportion: a slim leather strap, plain or lightly stitched, keeps the line clean. With a 36 mm case and 100 m of water resistance, a strap of medium thickness keeps the balance. Most straps here come with quick-release spring bars, so the swap takes a minute and no tool.
Width is a starting point. Check the case and end fittings before choosing.
