I guess it’s good if you want to dress it up and if you’re 50+ ;)

haha not even sure how to take that. But thanks for the input. Not enough "Bling" for you perhaps?

But would they fit? I actually like the look of them better and can source them

I like the look of a Daytona on a jubilee bracelet. Very nice.

I just bought the Everest gator strap with end links for my BLNR.
I hope it looks as good as your Daytona!

Picked up my OEM Leather straps today at my AD and installed it on my SS Daytona.

Thank you to Chadridv for the awesome pictures, idea and help with the ref. # etc. (Mine set-up is D/E)

I will try to take better pictures in the daytime.

I think it looks AMAZING. Daytonas just work on straps as they do on bracelets.

Have you seen it on an OysterFlex? That is amazing too!

Hey, I swapped back to the OF straps but will change to the leather and take pics in the coming weeks (the leather is still so stiff).

Old thread revival but I bet this would look great on the previous stainless steel bezel. It looks great but think the ceramic throws it into more sporty territory and suits the rubber better.

I removed the leather strap as I need to purchase another side E, but another member did the same thing.

See below pictures from another TRF member (Chadriv) - I recall he posted a thread about this previously (for more pictures):

End Links
Are the end links factory Rolex or aftermarket? Thank for sharing the strap on your watch.

I agree. Absolutely nailed it on this one and I am very anti-strap vs bracelet.
