OP39 Everest Steel End Link vs Curved Leather

Hi guys,

Looking to add even more versatility to my Dark Rhodium OP39 114300 with a black leather Everest watch strap, but can't decide between the curved leather or steel end link. Any opinions? Please share photos if you've experimented with either one, would love to see some wrist shots of the real thing

Where did that OP39 image come from? Everything looks off.

Curved.
I think the lugs look better and overall look is cleaner, imho.

Let us know what you decide. Great watch!

I really didn't like the Everest with curved end links on my OP white dial

The curved looks . . . odd.

Nice shots, thanks for sharing! I actually don't mind it. The links look like a perfect match. Am hoping someone out there has the classic black alligator that I can see

Yeah they first caught my interest DJ36. The size and bezel do play a role as well though

SS end links look like you had to ad an “adapter” to make the strap fit. Pieced together, if you will.
