SS Daytona Bezel and center links

I think the Daytona would look much better with a brushed steel bezel and center links..Anyone agree?? Or is that just crazy..

I completely agree with you!
IŽdonŽt like the brilliant center links, and prefer the sportier and classic look of old Oyster bracelets.
Regarding bezel, the highly polished one, makes almost impossible to see the scale, and looks rather gaudy to me. May be a brushed bezel like that in the Explorer II, or better yet a thin, black ceramic with white scale numbers, would be a better choice, in my personal opinion.
Just a personal point of view, of course.
Kind regards, Abel

I definitely think a thin black bezel ala' the Paul Newmans would look much better!

I think the Daytona would look great with the brushed links like the older Newman's.

No way. I like the SS Daytona that way it is.
