Yeah...when it comes to doing dials that have a variety of looks about them in different lighting and angles, no one does it quite like Rolex. That's a real looker.

I liked the old strap, too. Did they let you keep it? Anyway, major congrats are in order!

Yes sir I did. I asked opinions on the watch (and it didn't go over too well). I bought it anyhow after getting to wear it a week. The strap made me LOVE it!!

Yes I did get to keep it, but it won't ever go the watch again. I really disliked the white stitching on the prior strap.

I owned a MOP Daytona and enjoyed the various shades the dial became in different lights. MOP dials are not for everybody but I liked mine. Only traded it for my 5070 at the time.
