This caught my eye just before Christmas - I have to say I really like it.

Only down side it has a Pin/Buckle which I do not prefer - will probably pay for a IWC deployment clasp when the Pin/Buckle has given me enough grief.

What on earth have you done to that poor Daytona?laugh
The only thing I can think of is that he is allergic to metal because that looks bloody awful!
Don't fret, I didn't throw the bracelet away! I love changing straps on different watches but they can easily go back to original!
It looks like you've recently suffered the loss of a much loved hamster, which you've turned into a watch rug so you can remember him always.
That was exactly what I thought!!! At least he loved the hamster!! roflroflrofl
I love the way some people on here talk ABOUT someone rather than TO them, as in "he" must have rather than "you" must have!

What is that? Conflict avoidance while trying to encourage support?

MUCH MUCH better to say - That looks like YOUR dead hamster or YOU have appalling taste, YOU'RE a nob for putting it on that strap, what were YOU thinking? etc etc

That's got to be a staged photo,

Is that the watch equivalent of putting one of those car bra things on the nose of your Ferrari?

What a major fashion faux pas...

I think it depends on how important "fashion" is to you, as you can see it's not important to me AT ALL!

Do you mean the bund style strap or the fact that it's suede or both?

I'd like to reply both, smile
But actually I'll stick my head above the parapet and say I'm with Don on this ... as I like the look of that strap and it goes (to my eye's) nicely with a Daytona

A truly beautiful watch deserving more interest.
Does the anchor do something other than beat seconds, and did you pick this up new or preloved?

You're brave! smile

I like the dead "matteness" of it against the brightness of the dial and bezel, I thought a black croc bund might be a bit predictable and cheesey on a Daytona even if it's a new one!

Indeed, they're the first to go.

All that remains in ours are caramel and fudge... hurl
