Just received this great strap from Tonez [VRF] in time for the seasonal change of colors on the GMT.

Rich Tuscan leather of very nice quality and perfectly suited to wear the crown.

This strap will just get even better with age.

Thanks, Barry!

Yes, the EEL's [Eugene's end links] really complete the package.

As always, it looks great!

dddrees · 11 March 2012, 07:51 AM

The Rolex buckle finishes it off really nice.

Great looking strap and combo, Dan

You start the seasonal changes early this year, my friend

dimitros · 11 March 2012, 08:16 AM

'ganza! as they say in the Tuscan dialect.
Molto fico!

Is that a one off, or can another be had?

I think it'd look awesome on a 14060m!

mjclark32 · 11 March 2012, 08:16 AM

Very nice, Dan!

bigwatchman · 11 March 2012, 08:18 AM

bluemartinifan · 11 March 2012, 10:31 AM

Dan - the strap looks super soft and wearable - is that a dark brown?

A bit early, Panos.

Winter forgot to show up this year and I missed the pepsi.

Tonez is a member of VRF and has more for sale in vintage brown and black.

It's a dark grey but can pickup different hues depending on the lighting. It just oozes quality.

And the 16mm taper at the buckle really adds to the comfort.

Could you tell something about the end links? They are original? Customized? Rebuilt?

thanks,

Mike

They are custom made by TRF member, Etur [Eugene]. A search of Etur's Custom End Links will give you a full report.

He makes them for many Rolex and Tudor references. Highly recommended. No affiliation, just a happy customer.

Looks good dan

AboutTime · 11 March 2012, 03:12 PM

locate the Rolex pin-buckle?

NYMike · 11 March 2012, 04:51 PM

Found it - they look great!

Had thiis existed a few years back I would have gotten a standard Daytona instead of the fixed end link version (116518) I love my watch but no option to put on a metal band if I wanted to.

Brisman · 11 March 2012, 06:04 PM

Great combo once again. Looks great.

mickeydainish · 11 March 2012, 06:13 PM

Very nice Dan..... Classic and great looking too!! :-)

Chris B · 11 March 2012, 08:03 PM

Very nice Dan

jdc · 11 March 2012, 09:33 PM

Can't you leave anything alone Dan

I must say I quite like that, especially with the end links you may convert me one day

Psmith · 11 March 2012, 09:55 PM

Looks great Dan

Dan Pierce · 11 March 2012, 10:16 PM

Thanks again, everybody!

Ebay, but as always, there are many fakes so make sure you know what to look for.

You know me so well, Martin.

Our GMT's deserve nothing but the best.
