AdG Daytona
I’ve had this tribute AdG Daytona since December 2018. When it arrived it had the solid gold bracelet attached.
The watch also came with a black alligator strap, and after some time with the bracelet, it was time to try it out
I felt it was much more elegant and restrained, much more appealing. The low key nature as opposed to the bracelet was more my style.
And so I continued to switch between the bracelet and strap over the years . But of course one is always looking to improve or at the very least.
try something new.
There was only one other configuration I could think of, a strap that in all my years of watch collecting I never thought I would buy.
You only live once.
So I pulled the trigger and made the order through AdG. I waited patiently until lit arrived.
Once it did I headed over to an independent watchmaker I know, it took a few minutes and here is the result.
Speaking honestly, I’m not totally convinced, but then again a bund strap was never my style to begin with.
I’m going to wear it for a while and see if I change my mind, as doubtful as that may be.
Maybe if I had it on during a track event, like the first F1 race of the season here in Bahrain next month, I’d feel more comfortable.
Right now, and around town it feels strange. On the plus side the strap is made of the most supple leather you could imagine.
It’s extremely comfortable and that was a surprise. Anyway what do you think?

You’re impressions sound… sound
Bund straps aren’t for everyone, although they have a special history for the Daytona (Paul Newman, etc) so maybe you wear it on the middle strap, but when appropriate (ie F1 races), swap out for the Bund.
Thanks Chronometer
I’m not a fan either, but thought, if I was ever going to experiment with a bund strap, this would be the watch to do it with.
Love the watch!
And all the three looks are stunning IMHO. I'm leaning toward the bracelet look and as I'm not a leather strap person I would vote for the bund strap in this case.
