the leather stretched a bit so it isnt as tight. the end links really make it look better and almost OEM

i didn't know how the project would come out so i bought a Daytona leather strap on ebay (~$50) and got fancy with an exacto knife (pretty easy to cut)

The custom end links really make the watch though i highly recommend it.
The clasp was the oem one from the seadweller.

I believe someone else did this to their SS daytona using Rolex brown leather.

I really want oem Rolex leather or a high quality leather now that i know how it came out. please let me know where i can source high quality black leather.

I put the seadweller on NATO with the end links also. looks good as well.
