Custom made Daytona endlinks

Has anyone purchased from these sellers or could recommend custom endlinks to allow a leather strap to be fitted on a Daytona (116520/116500)

I've found these two sources

I have had a positive experience with George. Purchased and used some on my 116520.

Brushed grain isn't perfect, but could easily be improved with a refinish IMO.

The 116520 is now gone... but will be keeping them for the cermaic !!!!

About two years ago a bought a set of "OfficialTime" endlinks for my Daytona.
The endlinks fitted perfectly and are made of 904L steel so the shine and finish is the same as original.
But after fitted them I knew I was never going to use them because I liked the steel bracelet better.
