New Strap for Daytona C

Incoming from Aaron at Combat Straps. What are your thoughts for my Black Daytona C. Going to have AD install as I will more then likely scratch it.

I like it just fine, for a while, I probably wouldn't if I needed my AD to change the bracelet back. little bit of a hassle there. nice tho.

Mmm. Not my style. Have you thought of other straps to maybe balance out the look of the watch?

Nothing wrong with being honest. I appreciate the feedback. I like it but not in love with it.

Yeah not a big fan either, sorry. I've tried some straps on my DaytonaC and eventually realized that the bracelet is just the best look for it.

strap doesn't look good on a watch like that without a taper down to the buckle. that strap dwarfs the watch head.

I like the bracelet better, but I see the appeal of changing things up every now and then
