Can this be done?



If some minor modifications were made to a rose gold bracelet from a sky-dweller and put on a RG YM 116655?

How freaking beautiful would this be if it were actually done ?

Looks great but I don't know I want to see the price. But I absolutely love the RG YM with the oysterflex.

Nice, it needs the extra gold to offset the black bezel.

The black oyster flex is a bit too much for me.

Is the sky Dweller bracelet not 21 mm at the end links?

What about a Daytona RG bracelet?

Is the bezel photoshopped? It looks too big and ugly.

I think it looks great and if that was an OEM option I would have to give it a strong look.

That's a SD43 photoshopped into a RG YM. I'd like it better if you just add a RG bracelet from a Daytona or even a DD,if it would fit, to the existing YM head.

And I thought a 97200 bracelet was expensive. Can you imagine what it would cost to do this mod?

the potential cool thing about it thought is that it's not really a mod. Let's say you buy the bracelet for $8k ( I have no idea what it costs). You remove the OF strap which takes 10 seconds. Put on the bracelet and you're good to go.

If the time comes that you don't like the look anymore, sell the bracelet. yes, you will likely lose money on the re-sell of the bracelet, but no, the watch is not modified at all!

I really doubt they are interchangeable. Rolex made it so on the Daytonas.

Wow. That's a freaking awesome watch. I've always admired the RG YM but I just can't get into a PM watch on a rubber strap.
