Strap is on upside down.

I also noticed. Could a left handed person be benefited from this upside down fitment when wearing on the right wrist??

No, I'm pretty sure lefties have the buckle at the top, too.

Hpozzuoli · 16 January 2018, 10:46 PM

Adam is correct. Buckle always at the top. Makes pulling it tight a natural motion with buckle at the top.

Perhaps the OP is going for that Patek strap look

Yes Adam, for me anyway.

RHIII · 16 January 2018, 11:26 PM

Not withstanding the aformentioned, great looking strap!!!

AK797 · 16 January 2018, 11:35 PM

Just pretend it's a Patek.

mtgjr · 16 January 2018, 11:41 PM

Well they do drive on the wrong side of the car/road over there.....

I disagree, Adam. Most all of my straps have the buckle at 6:00. It centers the buckle under the wrist and makes it much more intuitive to strap it to the wrist.

Thanks for the insight Dan. Always a great resource!

I'm going to put mine on a jubilee.

GaryRR · 17 January 2018, 02:19 AM

My wife noticed this so have since put it back the right way.

fantastic strap in either direction! How about some wrist shots?

First time I have seen a SS DaytonaC on a leather Everest with the end links. Looks terrific, let us know if it's comfortable.

Magwitch · 17 January 2018, 02:30 AM

I too like the Daytona C on a strap. I use the Everest leather strap. I think yours looks great on the white dial, mine is black.

very comfy just started moulding to my wrist, really gives a nice contrast to the white face and black bezel and wears well with a suit.

vladamir15 · 17 January 2018, 05:14 AM

Looks great! Getting into straps as well

yannis · 17 January 2018, 06:07 AM
