Added Rubber B to Daytona 116519 today

Hi everyone, I received my rubber b black strap and replaced the leather strap on my 116519 panda. Came with no instructions but few videos on YouTube. Sizing was biggest pain but I think was worth it. Like the almost oysterflex look. Appreciate any feedback both positive and negative.

Looks factory. Daytona’s, being sports watches, should have come with bracelet and/or rubber and not leather.

That's my favorite WG Daytona dial. Its looks to work nicely with the black band as well.

That would've been a great idea! It comes on a bracelet, with a Oyesterflex in the box!

Thanks. Very comfortable. Sizing was difficult to gauge how much to take off on each end to have clasp balanced. Didn’t want to remove to much because there is no going back once you cut off segment. I honestly thought rubber b workforce have some recommendations, instructions, or a video.

Doesn't look bad at all! Only thing is, I'm so used to seeing a black bezel on Daytonas with rubber strap, that something almost seems a touch off...

I’m not a fan of rubber bracelets in general, but it looks nice.
