YG Daytona on strap, pictures please!

hi all,

As the title says, please post pictures on YG Daytona's on strap, I personally like the 116518BLA with Black aligator strap.

I would like to own a gold watch but feel with a full YG (incl gold bracelet) is a bit to much for me, what do you think, I prefer a YG watch on strap as it looks a bit classier IMHO.

Thanks Otto...

... your Daytona is a real beauty, but I personally would prefer a black dial and a black strap, but this sure looks classy,

Hi Otto,

As you probably know, I'm not much of a strap man, but those 2 look simply gorgeously stunning!!

Thanks JJ. I sold this watch once, only to buy it back ten months later. The strap feels great and gives me a nice change of pace every now and then; however, I wear my bracelet watches more often.

Holy Smokes, and, Wow!!! Both the white and black face gold Daytona's displayed above with the matching Black and Cognac Crocodile watch straps, respectively, are as elegant as they are sporty. Beautimous!

Milos: Absolutly stunning Daytona, the champagne subdials are really looking good, that is almost exactly the look I am after I would only like to skip the red on the dial on second hand :-)

Does anybody have a link to where one can find the availible dials for a gold Daytona?
