I was going to change back to the bracelet tonight but I think I'll keep it with the nylon and post a daily picture for all to enjoy.

I sort of dig it. Are striped watch bands like rep ties? Will everyone think you went to Eton?

I like the original bracelet much better, but this is just my taste.

Great to see someone with a great SOH, main thing is, you like it!

I'd rather get my eyeballs pierced, but hey we are all different

Straps come and go, but the watch remains the same. We're talking paintings, and frames.

This really is making me laugh. From some of the reactions you'd think I took a blowtorch to it. Breathe people! The bracelet can be put back on in 5 minutes

Y'all need to put down the...



Besides, deep down you know you like it.

It looks like there is way too much going on. It seems kind of cartoonish in a way. But hey, like you said, you can change it back in 5 minutes.

P.S. It has been 5 minutes. Is it off yet?




PS It has been 5 minutes. Is it back to normal yet?

The red in the strap ruins it IMO, it would look much better on an all blue strap.

LMAO! I'm going to talk to my hippie sister and see if she won't make a macrame band for my Daytona. Not that I'd ever wear it, but the pics here of a Jerry Garcia Daytona would definitely generate some reactions worth reading.

To each his and her own, is all I can say...if it grabs you, then by all means, go for it - but it ain't for me!

PS Lisa, maybe try it with an all-black or all-white strap?

Actually, I have an all-black leather strap for it. And a tan leather perforated strap. I really don't wear the watch much, though - it was a hand-me-down from my husband and I prefer the 34mm size of my Date.
