116655 on crocodile?

Of the thousands of rose gold YM owners out there, have any of you tried to dress it up a little and put a crocodile strap on? I am thinking of a black crocodile from a daytona might be an interesting little touch...

Does anyone have pics of such a beast?

I had one on while I waited for my Oysterflex to arrive.

Hard to see but it’s black croc:



I think it works but I prefer the OF.

No, I was in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago and tried one on...but wasn't feeling it at all that day. The oysterflex just doesn't do it for me. In all honesty though, I was there to look at JLC dress watches and wasn't planning to look at Rolexes at all.

But I got thinking....What about a simple strap change to dress the YM up a little.

Interesting, while Rolex went the other way on the Daytona PM model that I own (116515). Mine is on a croc and now they are producing it on the oyster flex. I think I would like the OF strap for the warm summer months but love the croc for dressier wear.
