Nice Daytona - the tan strap washes it out a little - perhaps try a black or other dark color nato?

I like that tan, good neutral calm colors. Maybe with stainless hardware on the NATO buckle and keepers? Very nice

agreed, I would try something darker and some end links will finish it off nicely...

I'd prefer a leather, 1 piece, non-NATO strap personally. Nice watch however.

That particular strap/watch combo doesn't work for me, sorry. If going the nylon route - maybe just classic black. Or a sporty bright red. The olive drab with matte black/PVD hardware doesn't match IMHO. If you like it though, enjoy it!

I agree with Rich. If going with leather, my first color choice would be black on this watch.

Black....the only color befitting a Daytona IMO.
Nice Zenith!

Thanks guys!!! Just as I was second guessing the Tan nato, I was at my Crossfit gym and then the Park with my family today and got about 4 compliments on the watch which kind of blew my mind considering nobody every notices my watch at the gym lol.

With that being said...... I think I'm going to throw the bracelet back on and continue mess around with the Nato's on the Gmt and Subs that I own :)
