TT Daytona w/Alligator Strap
Hi All,
A few months back, just as I had ordered my TT Daytona from my dealer, and while waiting for the 3 long weeks for it to arrive, I thought that it may actually look very cool on a leather strap. So, even before receiving the watch, I ordered one of Etur's end links. A SS/Gold pair of end links. And I got them even before the watch. As you would imagine, the first weeks I just wanted to wear my watch "as is". But now I wanted to give it another look. Not so dressy, and a little bit sportier, so I got out the end links, and opened the bag with the brand new Rolex alligator leather strap that I had bought in Germany. And without further ado, here it is:    What do you guys think? |

Not bad at all....It's always good to have options!!
  You've got a killer combo with that dial, and red hands..

Thank you all for so many nice comments!!!
Just came back online and didn't expect so many responses, wow. I love this strap, it looks even better than in pics, and that is quite something ;) I got the end links custom made by Etur (you can find a big thread here about his custom end links). The fit and finish is outstanding. I think that the combination of the TT with the blue dial, and the almost golden contrast stitches on the strap fit quite well. Like Azguy and Jibba said, I think I will keep it this way for some time now. Cheers! |

Not usually a fan of TT, but that looks like something I would show off around town.

AC---- looks great. Btw, what type of clasp do u have on the leather strap?
I'm thinking of doing the same to my tt daytona, but having a custom strap made to fit the tt clasp. |
