    I wear my 2005 WHite Gold Daytona fairly regular. Clean watch with a few"handling marks" from me over the years. I enjoy wearing it on straps, but it is heavier than many watches, so I like a "strong" feeling strap. I would like to go back to be able to us my original Rolex buckle as seen on the strap in the middle. My currents strap does not work for the Rolex buckle, the brown eBay one I tried I s too thin and cheap feeling/looking. I like the carbon fiber one currently on it but cannot use the Rolex buckle. Question: does anyone have a good/more reasonably priced source for an original Rolex strap in black or the original Carmel that came on it? Also, does anyone have a good source who sells/makes this type of Rolex strap but isn't cheapo junk like the eBay one I tried, but also not silly priced for a leather strap? Just looking for some helpful input, not to get an immature flaming. Just want to be cost conscience. image.jpeg

    Thanks, but no dice. Their website specifically says not for the white gold model. There is a difference. Still looking.

    I've got a Rolex Buffalo strap that I put on my WG Daytona. Only been worn a couple of times and have since sold the Rolex so no further use for it. Paid about £170.00 for it but will sell it for £120.00 shipped. If you're interested let me know and I'll post some pictures of the strap when i get home tonight.

    Where did you guys purchase or have made? I happen to have an entire 6" gator hide tanned beautifully in black patent leather from a legal hunt some 10 yrs ago that I never did anything with...
