WG Daytona Strap?

Don't see many of these. What do folks think about the strap versions? Pics? I've been considering the WG Daytona with slate dial on a tan strap. The picture on the rolex web site looks stunning but I haven't seen one in person. Thanks

They are stunning!
Very Very classy!
I wish Rolex made it easier for those with a bracelet to put leather on their watch!

Why shouldn't I be able to buy the proper end links and leather strap if I am willing to pay and have already bought the bracelet version of the watch?????

I think you should be able to buy endlinks for a Daytona, DD even the DD II!

I think they look fantastic. I would recomend you check them out in person however, rember leather wont last as long as a bracelet. However they aren't as expensive to replace either.

Sweet pieces but just a bit spendy.

i have a wg 18k datejust on leather strap.

two things: 1. the gold scratches very easily
2. the band after a few months starts to scuff and rip in a few places so be prepared to have the band replaced every yr and a haf or so.

prices for a rolex band is 300.

neddless to say i love mine and its soooo understated which is great.
