Guys, I’m trying to decide which modification to my TT Daytona (116503) looks good. Purists should look away!

I’ve got a spare stainless steel Daytona bracelet from a 116520, all original Rolex parts. Also have an Everest strap with end links. I’m really impressed with the Everest strap, but also like the SS option as it matches the grey dial.

FYI- I still have the original TT bracelet that came with the watch, just having some fun. Normally I’m a Rolex purist, and I’m sure I’ll revert to the TT bracelet eventually.

Thanks for looking!

I have a freind who wears his full gold daytona on black rubber b without the endlinks and it looks great in the flesh, have you tried that option out?

prakhon · 6 October 2018, 08:13 AM

Bracelet works really well imo.

I don't like the SS bracelet on the TT daytona.

But on strap it looks great. It has somewhat of a Breitlling look to it.

Looks great

Strap looks great as a contrast

JayHantz · 6 October 2018, 11:00 AM

I love the strap, absolutely hate the bracelet. Go with the former!

douglasf13 · 6 October 2018, 11:11 AM

Any of it is fine. Just wear what you like or find comfortable.

Hard_Six · 6 October 2018, 11:17 AM

I'm a fan of OEM but the strap looks good. Nothing wrong with a set of new shoes though!

DoctorA · 6 October 2018, 11:17 AM

Bracelet all the way!!

TonyYu · 6 October 2018, 12:18 PM

Look perfect in black strap, and feeling more dressy.

JR16 · 7 October 2018, 09:05 AM

My opinion is that the bracelet looks best , but always nice to have options and change things up

Thanks for your feedback guys. I’ve got a black rubber b that I somehow forgot about. Will try that one on and post some pics later.

Tried the Rubber B and didn’t like it. Went back to the Everest with end links, and I realized what was bugging me. The Everest end links are brushed completely. Daytona requires PLC, so I buffed out the center of the end links. Looks even better in person!

I think both combos work nicely. With cooler weather on the way, I say mount up that alligator strap and enjoy it!

The strap looks more classy to me, something a man could wear to dinner.

enjoythemusic · 17 October 2018, 10:37 PM

Both look great and it adds versatility to your wardrobe accessories.

Am a bit surprised how few seem to invest in different watch bands to diversify style and extend the outfit choices.

Vinyasa · 18 October 2018, 12:38 AM

Leather all the way.

Kigan · 18 October 2018, 12:41 AM

Original bracelet (two-tone).

gt0279a · 18 October 2018, 01:46 AM

Could also try the two-tone end link on leather.

R!$ · 18 October 2018, 01:53 AM

I would keep it original otherwise people would think it's fake
