Put a Strap on the Daytona
I picked up a strap for the Daytona and thought I would share. Looks better than I thought it would. See what you think...

I'm a bracelet guy; I kind of feel that strap takes away from the "class" of the Daytona.

But it's your watch; if you like it, that's all that matters.

The strap concept might be nice for a change, but you might consider other strap options...just a thought.

Oddly enough I like it. Prefer the bracelet but to mix it up a bit this works for me

On a strap, perhaps, but not that strap.

Nada. Rolex is a braclet watch. Panerai is the strap watch.

+1. Tried a Rubber B on my Daytona but definitely prefer it on a bracelet.

I actually prefer this strap over the bracelet. Makes it look a little rougher, a vintage vibe. I like it

Love it! I abandoned bracelets a while ago. Get more straps and change them regularly.

Looks a little unfinished. Maybe endlinks would help? I love the coronet on the buckle.
