Leather Strap/Buckle on Nipple Dial Gold Sub?

Is this accurate for a gold sub?
I am unfamiliar with leather straps
Is it a daytona strap/buckle combo that is on the sub? Thanks

Did you really find it necessary to take the Lord's name in vain? Uncool...
As well as quite offensive!

Please forgive me. Will think twice before posting next time. I did not intend to offend anyone. Sorry :(

Definitely would like to see the other side of the watch if you have time. Looks like it would be a great combo.

I actually just got this delivered today.
The clasp is a 16518, i'm not sure if the strap came straight from a daytona or if it was added afterwards, the strap is crocodile made in italy. serial number is 5.7 million, puts it around 1978-1979? Crystal and bezel were replaced. , looks like the second hand was replaced at some point too because it looks like fresh luminova on it. Not sure if price discussions are allowed, if not, please have a mod edit it out. I paid $5500 for this bad boy.

hmm strained my fingers trying to turn the bezel, bezel definitely looks new, bezel and insert, crystal looks new too, hoping i didnt get a mixed bag of parts causing the tight bezel.
