Icon6 Now I'm a believer... Leather on Daytona

Though I'm a big fan of swapping straps on my watches, I've always been on the fence about using a leather strap on a modern Rolex. Sure it looks hot on a vintage Rolex, but modern is a bit different...

But after trying this Everest leather strap on my Daytona this past weekend, I can now say that I am a believer. Everything looks good on a Rolex!!!

The end links that came with the strap fit perfectly. Great quality strap too. A review on my website is in order! Absolutely loving this new look. What do you guys think?

Very nice indeed

I've just fitted a leather strap to my BLNR GMT but I'm undecided

I think that color band on the white dial is perfect. Good choice.

That looks beautiful. The tan color of the strap goes well with the white dial. Nice!

IMHO. Nothing better than leather on a watch in terms of comfort.

Looks great too.
