Lets talk Daytona 6263/6265 bracelets

[gplracer]

I have a DW 6263. I am really happy with it but I wonder how much better a gen band would be. Honestly that band does not seem that bad but what do I know? I have never seen a gen bracelet for this watch in person. I figure the options are as follows:

1. Use the bracelet that came with the watch

2. Buy a gen 7835 folded link bracelet

3. Buy a gen 78350

4. Buy a gen 7205

5. Hope that Yuki comes out with a 7205 and Freddy reviews it. That review goes well (Lots of hope I know)

Can someone enlighten me on the differences between the standard DW bracelet and a gen one. Also, is the 7205 comfortable to wear?

Just exactly what or who is DW? and do you have any photos of the stock band?

Option 6: Genuine 'Rolex of Geneva' 19mm leather strap: $60-100. (I rather like the honey brown ostrich and the black lizard.) Yuki tang buckle: $18. Say goodbye to your endlink headaches!

The problem with straps is that they leave the laser etchings between the lugs visible (gen cases were engraved, not etched), which are a dead give-away for an alert WIS. All of my 62xx Daytonas are fitted with gen 7835/357 folded link bracelets.
