Who says resurrection is not possible? Bringing back dead threads to life is proof that that are....well, curious members.

It is listed in his sig. I assumed he got it?

Fwiw, I try not to get my gator strap wet. Ie no swimming. I don't wear it a lot and it still smells good after almost 3 years.

Solo, thanks a lot for info. I'll look up the rubber straps.

That is the nicest Gold Daytona on the market :) The ceramic bezel needs to be on all Daytonas......looks amazing

Congrats

Cheers, thanks!

Congrats, looks lovely!

I try to keep suntan oil off my wrist when I wear my Daytona with a strap or ensure the oil has saturated into my skin well ahead of wearing my watch. The oil penetrates the strap and collects a bit of dirt as well. It isn't noticeable until you take your watch off.

I ordered 116515 too assuming that's a high end watch I presumed leather strap should be also top notch quality and come with lining.
I have a Zenith Captain and it's strap has a lining to protect sweat,salt. Why Rolex don't make this even an option is strange

16528 on a generic black band while I wait for a Bulang strap. I dont care much for the endlinks. Seems cheesy. Great way to have a beautiful watch on the wrist without scratching up the original.

That is a sharp looking strap!

busytimmy · 6 January 2015, 02:24 PM

Looks great, OP. Killer piece. Less versatile than SS, but just gorgeous!

Nycturbovr6 · 6 January 2015, 03:47 PM

Looks great with that strap.

Would like to find out from you guys how the straps of leather daytona connects to the clasps. Is it on a standard spring bar to the clasp or similar to the bracelets its screw in joint?

V.lats97nsx · 11 January 2015, 01:53 PM

Bulang and son strap came in for my 16528 unbelievable beauty and craftsmanship

1) RSC direct- Not sure if they have color options, but black is standard so hopefully you can get a nice dark brown? I bought a strap for about $450 when I first aquired my 116518.
2) Rubber B- I have had my Rubber B for about 10 months and it is excellent. I am going back to leather, but for the summer/vacation you can't beat
having your 11651x on a Rubber strap!
3)ABP Paris- One of the best strap makers around from what I read. They have many options including a sweatproof lining that should help prolong the life of your strap. The options are around $350 which is still a bit less than RSC!

Could someone post a link to these straps please? Specifically for 116515.

I second that!

Solo118 · 8 June 2016, 02:40 PM

Here you go, I am just not sure if they make a strap for the 515. It requires a little cut on one end, and it is different than the 518/9 straps as they use the older clasp.

Definitely shoot them an email with your questions. They will reply back with what you need exactly. Worked out fine on my previous 518
