New Daytona clasps easy to find...
They seem to be all over flea-bay... and with leather and stingray straps to boot!

Believe me I know, that purchase was as close to the looney bin check in as I have been, but I still love the clasp.

How can Rolex justify over £400 pounds for a clasp you can buy 2 good
watches for that price.

Whoever said they had to justify their prices for anything? Let's face it, they could charge double that amount and there would be a market for every piece they produce.

Well Ed there is no way I would pay that price just for a clasp.

Have to go with Padi on this one. On the YM, the original clasp looks good enough and more than adequately serves the purpose!
