Thinking about adding to my collection and purchasing a Daytona. I absolutely hate bracelets and much prefer a strap if possible. Is the link where the red arrow points to removable? Maybe it is just me, but it looks silly to have a polished link followed by a strap?

So it basically would look like this Vintage Daytona without having to pay 65k?

Thank you in advance,
Vienn

Hi Vienn my daytona was originally on a gold bracelet but was replaced at sometime (not by me)with a leather one see my pics in my daytona pics in this category I'm not happy about the gap left this is why I'm looking for a gold bracelet but it's down to personal choice

A Daytona with the Strap has machined grooves under the bezel where those end-links are fitted...

They are not removable without removing the bezel first, and a non-strap Daytona does not have the machined grooves.........

Vienn... I agree, the vintage look of a leather strap without the end links looks much better to me. Have you successfully accomplished the task? If you, or anyone else has a leather strap, sans end links, on a stainless steel Daytona, I'd love to see pics.
