Inspired by another topic I brought a visit to my very flexible Rolex watchmaker and together we created this pretty cool summer Daytona, perhaps we should call it Daytona Beach MKII

All OEM parts obviously, never knew Rolex offered a sharp white croco for it's whitegold Daytona's !

WBA_Daytona · 21 February 2018, 08:43 PM

It's superb! I was the one that said this would go very nice with a white strap! Indeed it is a beauty!

Kigan · 21 February 2018, 09:04 PM

Very nice!

That is a really great looking combo mate - congrats!

What a great combo, nice work.

Not my favorite as I think the Oyster bracelet is beyond perfect. I have found that leather and alligator straps in the summer with the heat and humidity are not my friend.

brandrea · 21 February 2018, 09:59 PM

I like it for a change of pace

Very nice! Would love to see a white rubber strap option as well.

Mystro · 22 February 2018, 12:05 AM

Very nautical looking.

DoctorA · 22 February 2018, 12:06 AM

Bold . Nice!!

kilyung · 22 February 2018, 12:09 AM

I’d have gone with a white rubber strap as leather isn’t the greatest material for summer.

Agree with all the comments on leather and summer being not being the greatest combo, i will add a white rubberB later on.

Thank you very much.

You can just order these at your Rolex dealer, available in many many colours, all OEM Rolex straps, be careful with sizing, can be a little tricky.
Official retail Price in Europe around 375€.

It looks great

encarter13 · 22 February 2018, 04:09 AM

Really dig that dial!

AK797 · 22 February 2018, 05:13 AM

Blue dial is just glistening, I like white straps but I put a rally one on my friend's white D500 and it didn't quite work.

Swatz · 22 February 2018, 08:16 AM

Fantastic!

jrs146 · 22 February 2018, 09:18 AM

Yup, that certainly looks spectacular...I saw the one that inspired yours I believe and PM'd the owner who gave me the details...very tempting to do at one point and yours looks fantastic.

Lookin' good

Surprisingly a great looking combo! Very nice!

rossi46 · 23 February 2018, 12:30 AM

I would have never believed that Rolex made a white leather strap like that!

Quite a bold look. Would be fun to throw on as a weekend look.
