So I haven't had the guts to remove the bracelet from my Daytona 16520 (White Dial) since the spring bar holes are so small I'm not even sure my tool will fit. I'm thinking an admiralty grey phenomenato strap. I'll post pics of that and the Jean Rousseau brown NATO (They make the Omega bonded leather nato). Anyone swap straps on their Daytonas, especially NATO's. Perhaps a james bond? Looking forward to some photos. I love the bracelet but change is good.

Just google it. However, I preferred bracelet on a Daytona.

Why would someone do such a thing?

Cool! Love the strap!!

T01 · 28 April 2018, 01:52 PM

Nice!

brucethemanlee · 28 April 2018, 05:38 PM

I put my Daytona black on a leather racing strap (not NATO)

Btw it is easy to remove and change if you have the right tools and little bit of dexterity

Ridiculous but why not? It’s reversible

Angelis · 28 April 2018, 07:27 PM

NATO straps on Daytona’s look really good, especially on the ceramic ones.

I will do it to mine soon.

Thanks. Cheap and lots of options from Amazon: Barton Bands

Not a Daytona but a close cousin. Kudos to those with an open mind willing to blaze their own path.

If Bond was a race car driver...haha. I've actually never worn this before, just put the NATO on when I saw this thread (bought this strap when I had a 14060M). But to my surprise I kind of like it. The dark red in the strap looks nice with the red "DAYTONA" font on the dial.

My favorite Big block. Wish I never sold mine. So many great things about this watch. I love my Daytona, but so many things that just get it right with Big block too.

Looks very cool, I'm happy it sparked some new ideas. Since I just got my 16520, I never realized how small the spring bar holes are in the bracelet. I've got to try a bunch of straps and Natos' once I get the B_lls to try. Mind you I can pop a spring bar with my eyes closed, don't know why I'm being chicken here.

I’m sorry but a Daytona should remain on the bracelet it comes with.

Only one scenario it is okay to change: stainless to an oyster flex

AzHadEnuf · 29 April 2018, 01:00 PM

Not a true NATO but very comfortable.

EdwardC · 29 April 2018, 01:02 PM

The Daytona is so versatile. Leather, nato, plastic and of course metal

schoolboy · 29 April 2018, 01:09 PM

I think they look great on Natos!

Thanks for sharing everyone
