Good day, all.

I'm looking for a new sport watch that has an INTEGRATED brown leather (or croc) strap. By integrated I mean that there is no gap between the strap and the case, as in the AP Safari, Rolex Daytona on leather and new Speedmaster 9300 on leather. Goal is to complete the cool, relaxed look that would work with a cool brown leather belt and shoes.

Case size should be 40-44 mm. OK with vintage, but needs to be high quality.

Photos would be very helpful.

Other watches in my collection include Daytona WG meteorite dial on black leather, GMT Pepsi, DSSD, SeaDweller, 14060 2-liner, SS YM, white dial EXP II, IWC Aquatimer on rubber, Omega PO on rubber.

Thanks very much!

sounds like your ready for a Nautilus.

Patek nautilus would be great. If also consider a gold Daytona on a strap. There are some great deals out there on zenith movement models ($11-12k range). Not bad for an all gold piece.

For a rare look that would go together well, I'd highly recommend trying a brown curved end hirsch type strap on your SS/Platinum Yacht-Master. A strap like this would look great on the Yacht-Master:

Why buy a new watch when you just need a new strap?!

For a color reference:

14060m with Hirsch black leather!

As mentioned, you can use Etur's custom end links on most Rolexes, or Hirsch's curved end straps on most round case watches. Their shark on my ExpII...

Thx very much for the great ideas.

Love the Daytona solution but already have the WG Meteorite on black leather; going to brown leather not that much of a difference (although I really like the white dial with small arabics!).

Also, I don't do yellow gold, so it needs to be WG or SS or platy.

Presently on the short list:
* AP Safari
* WG Daytona with white dial

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated!!

The ap safari or panda would fit nicely to your criterias
