Hey everyone, I'm wondering if anybody knows the best options for purchasing a watch strap for a vintage Oyster perpetual. Ideally, I would love to find an original Rolex bracelet for the watch. However, I heard they are a little jingly. Will this affect the wearing experience?
Would love to hear about your experiences or any bracelet / strap suggestions, thanks!

The bracelet is not just a little jangly, it is very jangly. If it was worn a lot it is almost useless. If you want one, buy it from Rolex. Unless the watch is incredibly old they will still have them. It's probably cheaper and will be in good shape.
For leather. Measure the lugs and go on Etsy. Get a nice pin buckle or a good quality deployant (which is harder than it sounds) and enjoy. It will feel more premium on the leather due to aforementioned jangle.
