Hi boys,

I've been a quiet member for a little while. Decided today would be a good day for my first post.

Just picked up a new M serial GMT2C to compliment my Daytona.

Glad to be apart of this group. You all seem very polite.. I guess it's to be expected from Rolex owners

Well without further adu, here they are.
Oh I also included a pic of my brothers tt sub!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I will do my best to post more often!
While I'm here, I may as well as a question. How do I get my hands on black leather band + deploy. clasp for my Daytona? Anyone know how much they go for?
My guess is AD.. but everytime I'm there I forget to ask...

Thanks again!

Good to see your post..

You know, the Daytona leather strap will not fit on a Daytona not originally equipped with one..

The strap Daytona has the case under the bezel machined out to accept the end link that covers the gap between the strap and case. This machined area is not there on the bracelet equipped Daytona.

If you put a regular leather or croc strap on it and want to use the Daytona clasp, I think it will cost a grand or two, just for that piece.

Wow, thanks for the info. I guess I'm going to stick to bracelet. Is there anything aftermarket that looks good in a reasonable price range? Maybe around 3-500 for the whole thing?



And thanks again everyone, I will add pics of a couple other non-Rolex pieces I own tomorrow!
