Finally! New look on my SkyDweller!

[woof]

Looks awesome!!

[stylinleems]

Just reviving an older thread for information purposes. I just received the SD43 endlinks for my Sky-Dweller and slapped them on with the OF straps.

Even though they are not as high as the lugs on the SkyD lugs by 1 mm. They finish the look and close the gap.

Endlinks = SD43 (smarty end links)
OF Straps = 218-108-x

[Doood]

I like it, but would like it more without the end links.

[dottore]

I prefer the bracelet

[slimboy1974]

It’s not for me I’m afraid but if you like it that’s all that matters

[got369]

If it doesn’t make it look better than OEM bracelet/strap…..it would be a no go for me.

[Boaters]

Bracelet..But it is what you like.

[stylinleems]

Appreciate the comments, it works for the summer.

But this is temporary, just waiting for the jubilee bracelet to arrive

[RolexSimon]

With enough interests, I'd hope Smartyendlinks would produce some for the SkyDweller. Might be worth reaching out to George: https://www.smartyendlinks.com/

[Jiayinli23]

It is cool but not my style.

[WantBlue15202]

I like the strap/watch color combo but maybe not a fan of the strap stitching being white.

Surprised the leather looks that good given it seems most Rolex now are designed with metal bracelets in mind. I would have thought I’d dislike it more than I do!

[ks58]

Not a fan, but to each their own.

Definitely did reach out, he tried to make them and even adjust the sd43 ones but mentioned that in the manufacturing process the end links break as the holes on the case are further down on the lugs. (not sure)

I was going to try Tudor end links, or another one he makes but felt the sd43 do the job for now.

I was able to get my blue dial SS SkyDweller in March of 2018, and I've loved every minute with it. But, I've also missed the beauty of having a SD with a leather strap.

The main problem was that there were no end-link available for it (and still aren't), but I kept searching for a solution.

The main problem is that the lug width of the SS SD is 22mm, as opposed to the gold models, which are 21mm.

The interesting part was that I also have a new 43mm SeaDweller, which also happens to have 22mm lug width.

So, I decided to see if the end links for the SeaDweller would work out for the SkyDweller, and to my surprise, they kind of do!

I say kind-of because the height is not perfect, If you look at the watch from the lugs, you can realize that the end-links do not reach all the way up to the command bezel, but then again, how many times do you look at your watch from that position?

So, here it is, my first attempt at having a leather strap on my SS SkyDweller!

Thoughts?

Hi, I just wanted to revive this old thread.

I’m planning to do the exact same thing.

Regarding the OF straps that you installed on your sky dweller, was it originally from a PM sky dweller?

Is it also 21mm width at the head where it comes into contact with the end link?

[Bizcut1]

Nope. Uh-huh.

[premium2]

It is okay to put out new things, but this is an easy pass for me, endpoint and leather remains a nah.

I occasionally wear my GMT on a Rubber B strap. It's practical but it seems a shame to swap out the nice original bracelet.

You need to polish the end links

[Eliran101]

Steel black dial OF and endlinks that’s a very nice look

[rolexjackson]

All that matters is that you love it. For me I don’t love it, I would try to source an oyster flex bracelet I suspect that would look good. Or….. just put that back on its bracelet

Thank you!

[TunaTuna]

Run don't walk, sorry

[TheHulk]

That’s ok at best.....

[tchcxp]

Looks great! If it's a blue strap, that would be perfect!

[londonpilgrim]

Like most Rolex, it is far better on the bracelet.
