New Idea

So some of you all know that I am all over the place with my watches. We can let that part go. It is part of my reality. I accept and enjoy it. It's fun. So lets move past that.



That said, I have been looking for the right WG daytona. I don't actually care all that much about the dial. I love the Panda, but I love them all. I lean towards that Panda Arabic because it has the best lume of the group.

I just saw the black dial in the for sale section also with Arabic. And it has lume, and it is awesome.

It also has the leather strap. Not my thing. BUT, I LOVE it with rubber.

I checked with the legend DavidSW and he is looking into the details for me. But he is a busy guy selling all these watches for the TRF community and beyond. I don't want to burden him with my craziness.

So I am wondering if you guys can help. Apparently the rubberB for SS Daytona will not fit because of the End Links. I like rubberB only because it is top quality. I am ok with any rubber strap as long as it fits right and its top quality.

Does anyone have any idea at all of the proper rubber strap that would fit properly with the end links of a WG Daytona?

Your help is appreciated. Thank you,

Most welcome.

I think it is an excellent strap. I use it with the buckle Not with the Rolex clasp.

I have one that uses a rolex clasp & had 1 that uses the rubberb buckle...i didnt care for the amount the buckle stuck out...ie it didnt lay flat against the strap, it seemed like poor execution & lack of effort on their part?
Just my experience.

Seth.......If I were you, I'd stick to your quest for the WG Panda.......by far the most impressive Daytona out there.......closely followed by the Plat Daytona at more than twice the price........

But your choice my friend.......

Third that.
I think the rubber b is good as an option but not as a standard especially on this watch. Be patient, go all out.
