Rolex daytona 116515LN rose gold on leather or OF

Going to pull the trigger on this soon. With choc dial
I know the new one is on OF but i really love the style if the older leather strap model...i just think it gives the watch more class and elegance than the OF not to mention sexier as dont think rubber amd rose gold go well on this watch like on AP's as such...
What do u all think...??
And any wristshots of your rose gold on strap daytonas with choc dial would be great!

Congrats, looking forward to seeing the pics when you get the watch! Only think I prefer with the oysterflex is that it is waterproof so no issue wearing it in the pool or shower. Also, if you sweat in the summer, you don't have to worry about the leather strap. In my mind, that makes it an easier to wear watch.

Yeah defo agree more practical because waterproof, but do you not think the leather is a bit more dressy also?

Leather strap all the way. It is much more of a classy / sophisticated look.

It’s the identical watch apart from the strap and clasp. You can always go rubber b if you change your mind

OP - Crocodile skin or leather? The former is definitely waterproof. I love the croc skin. Can dress up or down and it's very durable.

Here's a pic. Looks more like YG in this pic (and many that I've seen). Looks much better in person.

The watch is quite dressy for a Rolex but I still felt it was too sporty for the leather strap, esp with the sports bezel. I would rather it was a racing strap or had white stitching or the OF.
