Suede Strap for the Vintage Rolex Prince
Share
The Rolex Prince is a rectangular vintage watch with narrow, shaped lugs, and there is no current factory strap for it, so owners have one cut to the right width. This build is a dark brown suede strap for the vintage Rolex Prince, made 85/135 mm with a slim 12 mm gold buckle. The brief was a soft, period-appropriate strap that fits the narrow case.

Why these choices
Suede is buffed from the underside of the hide, matte and casual, which softens a formal rectangular watch into something easier to wear day to day. Dark brown keeps it warm against a gold or two-tone Prince case.
The 12 mm buckle width is the key detail; the Prince's narrow lugs need a slim strap, and a 12 mm finish sits right where a modern 18 to 20 mm strap would overhang. A classic gold buckle matches the case.
We cut it 85/135 mm for a larger wrist while keeping the long rectangular case centered.
FAQ
What strap fits a vintage Rolex Prince?
A suede strap for the Rolex Prince is cut to its narrow lugs, here a 12 mm buckle width, so it sits flush on the rectangular case rather than overhanging.
Is suede practical on a vintage watch?
Suede is matte and casual and prefers dry wear; brush it occasionally and keep it from heavy rain, and it suits a vintage piece worn carefully.
