Daytona bracelet changes

Starting to do a little research on a WG Daytona. Interested in learning about any bracelet changes (style, clasp design, year of change, etc) that the Daytona has undergone. TIA Happy Holidays!

It really has not changed much in the past 8-10 years. The clasp has changed around 3 years ago though.

I have a WG meteorite Daytona on a black strap and I have always wanted to put it on a bracelet. No way I'm paying for gold and I have seen "how to" sequences on adding the stainless bracelet.

After using the adjustable bracelets on the new sub and DSSD there is no way I would ever use a non adjustable bracelet in the future. Its a deal breaker on new watch purchases.

I wonder is a new adjustable sub bracelet would fit the Daytona, maybe with different end links?

Two different watches and the adjustable is made for the DSSD for specific reasons. Daytona can be adjusted as well on the fly, though gives a little wiggle room, but can be adjusted.
