Those end links make the rubber on the Exp look incredible.

I like them both. Classy upgrades, OP.

I wanna do sth like that to my D500. But sourcing an OF is harder than I thought.

Congrats to you.

I wore my ExpII on jubilee for a while; finally tired of it and went back to Oyster. Nothing wrong with a rubber strap what so ever imho!! Both look great!!!

How dare you personalize something you spent your hard-earned money on! Somebody call the watch police! Looks great! I’m especially loving the EXP1 on the rubber strap!

Yep I still have all the original bracelets/parts for each watch.

Jubilee bracelet goes very well with polar in my opinion.

This is mine. 16570 in random serial the last batch of five digits explorer 2.
