Hi All,

I have been racking my brain over what strap/s to get to freshen up my New to Me T series 18K Yellow Gold Daytona. I contemplated ABP, and Rolex Factory strap but decided on a local strap maker. One of my friends has an extensive watch collection and has several of their straps for his Patek's and etc...so I figured it was worth a shot.

The 2 Straps are:
1. Dark Brown Hornback Alligator Strap with stitching matching skin colorto fit stock 18K yellow gold deployant clasp. (to match color of rolex original strap).
2. Matte Navy Blue Alligator with white stitching using the small flank for smaller scales vs. bigger squares. This one is a bit of a gamble but hey you only live once.

The best thing is that I can pick up the straps next week! Oh, and I get both of these straps for about the cost of 1 Rolex factory strap.

Picture for reference of watch I will be pairing these straps with (pictured is the old Rolex strap)-

Tisk, tisk, non OEM parts, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!?

Just kidding of course! Congrats and post some shots when they arrive. I've always tended to get custom straps made for my watches rather than paying obscene prices for OEM. You can get equal or better quality and a perfect fit for less money.

. I will get another Rolex strap to keep in mint condition with the watch at some point. But for now...fun alligator straps incoming
