Daytona cool blue dial / strap summer combo !

Inspired by another topic I brought a visit to my very flexible Rolex watchmaker and together we created this pretty cool summer Daytona, perhaps we should call it Daytona Beach MKII











All OEM parts obviously, never knew Rolex offered a sharp white croco for it's whitegold Daytona's !

Not my favorite as I think the Oyster bracelet is beyond perfect. I have found that leather and alligator straps in the summer with the heat and humidity are not my friend.

I’d have gone with a white rubber strap as leather isn’t the greatest material for summer.

Blue dial is just glistening, I like white straps but I put a rally one on my friend's white D500 and it didn't quite work.

Agree with all the comments on leather and summer being not being the greatest combo, i will add a white rubberB later on.

You can just order these at your Rolex dealer, available in many many colours, all OEM Rolex straps, be careful with sizing, can be a little tricky.
Official retail Price in Europe around 375€.

Yup, that certainly looks spectacular...I saw the one that inspired yours I believe and PM'd the owner who gave me the details...very tempting to do at one point and yours looks fantastic.

Lookin' good

I would have never believed that Rolex made a white leather strap like that!

Quite a bold look. Would be fun to throw on as a weekend look.
