You answered my question perfectly!
Sorry I stated my question badly. I didn't want to be limited to the options from Rubber B and Everest only - but wasn't sure what other options were out there that people used on their stainless steel Daytonas. Many thanks!
116520 on leather strap?
Folks, I've been looking at the Rubber B option for my 116520 (Black dial) but I was wondering if there's a tasteful way (and good company) to install a nice black or brown leather strap. Has anyone looked into this? Thanks! Best, Robert
Amanico - Appreciate that!

Now that I've looked around I see many after market strap makers
However, the vast majority of the leather strap makers do NOT have a curved end - instead they only offer straight ends - which results in the dreaded 'mail slot' horizonal space between the case and the spring bar. Does this spoil the look (that mail slo...
I didn't dig much deeper once the watch was delivered and he was happy...
...but I still don't understand why Rolex offers straps and bracelets for some models and only straps for others...
Agreed.. Rolex's decision to not offer strap choices for the Daytona
yes, that is unfortunate...
