Explorer I bracelet fit Daytona?

I would like to know if I can use my 39mm Explorer bracelet on the ceramic Daytona without any type of modification, spring bars etc..

Send me a White faced Daytona and I will check it out for you.

Hmmm. I have both but never thought to put the Explorer's bracelet on my Daytona. Probably because the case is polished on the Daytona and it would look odd with a full brushed bracelet?

It may work but you may have to swap springboard as well.

I'd just go for a nice aftermarket rubber bracelet; it'll preserve your original bracelet and feel really comfortable!!!

I am done with swapping bracelets for now. The idea came about because IIRC, someone here brushed his Daytona's polished links so the scratching would not be a problem. So I thought getting one already brushed from factory would be better. Thanks.

I brushed mine long ago. A brushed center link bracelet doesn't need to look like it was run through a hay baler for it's finish.

I agree! What I meant was not having to brush mine and getting another so I have both, and can come back to the original anytime.
Thanks!

Just my opinion, but I think the Daytona would look awful with a fully brushed bracelet since the entire case is polished.
