I don't think you can do this as the OF Daytona's has integral end links which are non-removable (a new bracelet has the end links attached to it). Plus even if Rolex made this possible the price of the WG bracelet withe clasp IMO would not be worth it (guessing $6,000+) as a new SS bracelet is $2,000+ so WG would be much more.

Honestly I was expecting something like 12-14.000$ but that wouldn't be the problem. I spoke to Chad and he explained to me that it is technically very difficult, almost impossible, to do this without doing permanent changes to the watch and this is something that I really don't want to do. Thanks anyway for your answer!

Rex: did you reuse the Daytona clasp or buy a new one?

I'm thinking of sourcing a new clasp so I can swap from OF to Oyster much easier (both bracelets staying on their own clasp.

I have my OFs/endlinks waiting for my Daytona arrival...(will have to see which pair fits properly)

Hi, did you ever fit the Official Time endlinks? I'm interested to know how good the fit is please. Any help would be appreciated.

I didn't think the SS clasp fitted with an Oysterflex? Does it need modifying in some way? As far as I was aware, 18ct clasps from 116509 etc wouldn't fit with Oysterflex?

Hey, I haven't received my Daytona yet so have not been able to test fit it. Once received, I will definitely post pics =)

Looks great on that watch -- especially with the black dial!

The SS Clasp fits perfectly with the Oysterflex - No modification necessary.
