Hello All,
I just finished my end-links design for the Milgauss

I know, this may be not everyone's cup of tea, but I really like the Milgauss on leather strap

Comments, critique are welcome…

Thanks!
Eugene

sleddog · 28 November 2011, 02:59 PM

It works well Eugene!!!

toph · 28 November 2011, 02:59 PM

Although not my preference i think it look rather good! well done

the_e_ones · 28 November 2011, 03:01 PM

Classical look!

roach7 · 28 November 2011, 03:03 PM

i like it!

FremStar · 28 November 2011, 03:03 PM

I actually like it.... A LOT!!! Wow! Is that a deployment buckle strap?

BNA/LION · 28 November 2011, 03:04 PM

Nice Work.

Time2time · 28 November 2011, 03:07 PM

Not my cup of tea at all Eugene to be fair. Just doesn't look right.

However, looks like a good job and no doubt may look good on some models.

It looks very fresh and crisp to me. Well done!

"fresh and crisp" -- I like the way you described it!

this is exactly what I was after when I use the blue leather strap.

i just want the colors to play and refresh the look...

Thanks!

An interesting look. Would be really useful to see how it looks without the end links.
Personally I find the endlinks design (the Rolex design, not your great reproductions of it) somewhat odd, and think a simple strap between standard lugs is more 'normal' looking.

FeelingTheBlues · 28 November 2011, 04:09 PM

Looks great to me, I'd like to see it on a GV as well!

andrew79 · 28 November 2011, 04:35 PM

very nice

No, looks more like a deployant.

masterkiller · 28 November 2011, 04:48 PM

Really nice, orange and blue is the ultimate combo!

globalmedia33 · 28 November 2011, 04:50 PM

Looks good.

Kokyuryoku · 28 November 2011, 04:54 PM

I like the look. Good work Eugene

I think I need to get a blue strap

Lol-x · 28 November 2011, 05:37 PM

Its a great alternative look. My primary look is the factory bracelet, but this leather strap/endlink setup is a

sweet alternative for a change of pace.

Jonathan007 · 28 November 2011, 05:41 PM

Yeah feel kind of safer in a way with the bracelet but its funky enough also!!

Good work!

Watchonisto · 28 November 2011, 05:49 PM

Definitely Rolex should do this move, nice work Eugene

DolphinV8 · 28 November 2011, 05:55 PM

Looks pretty good.

I agree. It's incongruous.

Rolex end-links are patterned after a bracelet's links (hence the name). So we've got what appears to be the beginning of an Oyster bracelet, but then it turns into a strap.

johnbeth · 28 November 2011, 07:04 PM

Nice work!

brettpaul · 28 November 2011, 07:06 PM

Great work Eugene - I really like the look!

I just ordered a set for my GV. Thinking about a black alligator strap with a a subtle green stitching. I'll post pics when its done.

Nothing in the pictures reveals a deployant clasp.

I prefer the bracelet but I think this looks really good.

speedo · 28 November 2011, 07:43 PM

agree with the others. prefer the bracelet but it is a fresh looking option. very nicely done.

Cru Jones · 28 November 2011, 07:57 PM

love that blue, orange & white combo. well done!

rulessapt · 28 November 2011, 08:07 PM

Fantastic.
I've been thinking and wondering how a "modern" Rolex might look with a strap.
Even better, my only consideration for a Rolex with a strap is a Milgauss.

Answers my question, though please, would you be kind enough elaborate on how the end links were selected, which model are they from and how do they (or do they?) integrate with the strap?

Straps on Rolex, somewhat polarises opinions. Viva la difference!
