My Daytona came on a leather strap before OF and it made it very classy, for me almost too classy with a sporty ceramic bezel so ideal would be with RG or YG stitching, think that would be the perfect balance, only seen one pic with RG stitching but it looked ace. I would get a custom with stitching now.

Just checked out the Bespoke website referenced above. You can actually choose your own stitching for the straps you want. Very tempting...

Indeed Larry, I've spoken to strapmakers and stitching is no problem for them, if I were to get the YG Daytona I would want a leather with YG stitching as well as the OF, time we started turning our one dimensional Rolexes into multi look Omegas and PAMs and get value for our money!

Does anyone here wear an OF Daytona on a leather strap? If so, a few photos and/or opinions on the subject would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Looks awesome. Go for it!

OF doesn't wear well on me for whatever reason (probably the shape of my wrist area) and I prefer the look of leather, so I found an OEM leather Rolex strap set and notched and sealed the cuts to fit the existing clasp for my TT Daytona. I like the contrast of the TT, how the caramel color of the strap ties to the gold, and the comfort of the leather.
