Thats a great look, what difference does the brand of strap make, none, using an Omega strap is no different from using any other 3rd party rubber strap on the watch.

Thumbs up from me.

Thank you, I had no idea! Thought you needed to buy an OF clasp to make it work. I just ordered one of these too, like this idea a lot!

Omega band in Classifieds if anyone wants!

Not my favorite but it works, somewhat. Look at Rubber B or Everest those straps fit better.

Just ordered rubber b.... hopefully I love it, not the biggest fan of the watch on the steel bracelet- not sure if it’s bc of years of hype and not living up to it or the thoughts of cashing in on the secondary.... but on rubber it wears much more comfortable and I like it a lot more. Hoping the rubber b on a Rolex clasp feels “perfect” and I keep it!

It's your watch and you can do whatever you want with it. It looks fine, imo.

Looks good on the strap!!! I'd likely go for a RubberB or Everest strap instead but if you like it that's all that counts.

There's a variety of Rubber B bands made especially for the Daytona. The fit of course is perfect. That could be another option for you. BTW, it looks very good on the Omega band!

I am not a fan of that particular rubber on the normal Seamaster but on your Daytona it looks almost perfect lol. Enjoy.

Nice, I have both of these parts but can't mix and match these brands, just feels wrong. I've put the Daytona on an unbranded white racing strap, it looked sharp but it just didn't feel right, I just don't like anything other than bracelets on SS Rolexes, whereas on Omegas and Breitlings often a strap is better.

I’m totally having second thoughts as my Watch OCD is kicking in here.... anxiously awaiting arrival of rubber b.

I do like the watch substantially more on rubber.

This looks nice with the red stripe! I ordered plain black but this might be a second purchase if all goes well!

It's not a bad look.

Maybe an Everest strap would create less cognitive distress to some.

This looks awesome and no such thing as sacrilegious when it comes to ones watch. You can do whatever the hell you want
