Daytona pros I need your help.

Next watch is going to be a PM Daytona....here is the dilemma. I was leaning towards YG on a factory strap. However, for not a whole lot more I can get one with full bracelet so the best of both worlds as I could swap out from bracelet to strap.....Except is that possible? Can you buy the end link used on the factory strap models? Anyone have experience with this?
TIA!

You can get aftermarket end links for adding a strap. The thing you won't get is a ceramic bezel in that configuration if that matters to you.

No.
The ends for a strap model are integrated into the case, they are not part of the strap.

As mentioned, there are some aftermarket gap fillers, but that is all they do - slip between the case and strap and fill the gap. It's a compromise fit.
