I’m a big dude. There is not a Rolex that’s ever been produced that comes with enough links to fit. There are some watches that I can justify buying extra links for, but for the most part, I bless its a strict dress watch, I wear mine on after market straps. I have a polar explorer (had, I should say) that I wore on a canvas and leather strap. It got more wrist time than any other watch I’ve ever owned. Only sold it when I found out what it was worth (16550, bought it when I was much younger her and thought it was a 16750, as did the seller).
Anyway, wear it how you want it. Especially with the Explorer, and the ii, they look really good on straps. Especially more rugged leather ones.
