Def prefer your mod on the brown strap, but looks pretty good either way.

I'm curious to see this dial/bezel combination with a bracelet...

Great mod.

I'm gonna have another strap created for this one. Considering a tobacco brown one with iceblue contrasting stitching or the other way around ??

still like this modded Daytona very much !

Mod looks pretty neat to me. Thanks for sharing!

HACKNSACK44 · 1 March 2019, 07:15 AM

Looks good!

What is this? A white gold 116519 Daytona with a glacier dial swap? Is the platinum dial original or custom aftermarket?

rod442 · 1 March 2019, 06:10 PM

I'm digging it. I'd wear the heck out of it! Brown or blue strap (although I prefer blue).

That blue alligator strap looks amazing on you Platona.

I'm useally dead against mods but that one really sings to me.

That’s really nice. Much nicer than the original Daytona Beach blue dial and strap.

Actually it is not a Platona, but a tuned whitegold one...

See above, dial is OEM.

Just to emphasize again, i did NOT design this mod for pretending intensions or anyting like that, i just love the whitegold Daytona on strap, love the platinum iceblue dial, hate the brown bezel on the platona and also can’t afford it. Then you end up with something like this watch ;)

I have vistited a few AD’s wearing this watch and one manager initially screamed, “what the....how enhh ?!” and then “they should have made it like that!!

Looks awesome! People mod expensive cars all the time. It is your watch, have fun with it. I like the blue on blue.

What a Bold look and a super cool summer dress vibe to that one..

That’s one of the nicest Daytona’s I’ve ever seen.

Much nicer than the earlier Rolex effort

Well done

Congrats! Daytona looks very ... rather extremely nice! Enjoy it and do not pay attention to purists! Makes fun doing a project like this and when outcome is as gorgeous as yours its triple the fun then. Looking forward to see your next adventure. Let us know which is the German strap maker?
