Apologies, although I think I prefer the "from" version, the end links look kinda wrong and detract from the beauty of the Daytona bezel IMO.

I hear you Monte but on that basis wouldn't the original bracelet also distract you from the bezel?

I hear you too Eddie and it seems I'm alone on this one, but to answer your question...
My feeling is visually you go from the bezel to the uniformity of a bracelet which is fine, whilst this way you go from the bezel to the End links of a bracelet to a strap, so my eye sees the watch ending at the end links and not the bezel.
Just feel the strap on its own "frames" the watch better.

Im not one for creating angst on threads, so apologies to the OP.

I'll now retreat to a dark corner, assume the fetal position and hope a bottle of scotch will help me through this...

'From' for me.

Is that what the watch looks like when the bracelet is removed?

I quite like the look of the 'from' version. I've been thinking about getting a watch with a strap for some time and I have to say that I really like the 'from' Daytona in your pic.

You are not alone.

I bought my white faced Daytona unworn but second hand. I would really like a new from the AD version but I would not know what to do with my old one. I think I do now. 'From' for me.

The custom endlinks are very well done, looks like they came from Rolex. However, it looks very good without them too.
