I love a strap on the Daytona, high gloss honey brown is my cup of tea.

Not fond of that particular strap, but I love the Daytona on alligator.

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

Prefer a more dressy strap for the Daytona, that's more an Exp strap.

Really like straps on all watches, experimented a lot. I believe a dark strap would compliment the white dial better...my 2 cents
ps: DP turned me on to this one and to finish it off I got some end links from George (not yet installed in this pic, obviously)

But it's your watch; if you like it, that's all that matters.
kind of agree with others, not a good look to me but as long as you like it enjoy
