unless im mistaken, only white gold daytona have the leather and deployment buckle. if yours is a ss, basically cannot.

How about TT?
Or only White Gold Daytona can fit leather strap?

Maybe you can check out this URL for some info on lug sizes for the Daytona. Hope this helps.

thanks for the website infor if i am not wrong the lug size is the same its just that the design at the lug slightly diff so could not mount btw the thickness is diff for stainless steel and gold(12mm vs 13mm) not sure if this affect as well. Also if u look at the pic of the lug joint/part of the stainless steel and the gold model its seems diff too

wow...didn't know this.....always thought that daytonas look really classy with leather strap......too bad only for white gold....find it weird why not for ss?

Question for daytona owners

Hi all,

Just out of curiosity, do you guys wear it with the timing function "on" (second hand ticks like normal) or you guys just leave it "off" (second hand do not tick but remains at 12 o,clock)?

[SamGMT]

I leave it off.

[hypersocial]

I don't think that chrono second hand is used for normal time keeping!

Definitely off if not doing any stop-watch timing.

[Oceanklassik]

Leave it!

The chronograph function is used only when you need it. Not leaving it to tick away. This is very likely going to wear out your watch very quickly.

But if don't let it "run" once in a while the oil will harden for the stop watch mechaism

I make sure run once every month full complete cycle ar least before stop and reset.

[zidaneong]

I usually leave it in off mode, but may play with it once a while though.

[Watcha]

Don't own a daytona, but I never seen any daytona owner leave the chronograph on.

Seen chronograph left on for iwc, omega but not daytona.

It won't wear out so fast but not advisable for 24/7.
How many time do one look at the second hand anyway?

[mattlec]

tks bro for the feedback =)...will run the timing function now and then to just make sure it is still working =p

[feilong108]

seen the chrono on constantly on 1 of my fren daytona...have to send for servicing after 8months due to the chrono hand cannot reset properly and the timekeeping is out of factory specs....
