Gentlemaen, I just fitted my white dial Daytona C 116500LN with a black SwimSkin alligator rubber strap from Rubber B. The end links are from smartyendlinks.

Do you like it?

I was wondering about this combo since Rubber B makes them for the OF version and the OF fits the SS, did you need any non stock parts other than the end links?, did you use the stock springbars?

danicasi2002 · 24 May 2019, 11:31 AM

Hello. Just had it only for a week. A little tight on the side, but I am told rubber was would follow form in time.

You are correct. The only non-Rolex parts are the rubber B bands and the smarty end links. All spring bars are from the original watch band.

If you like it that's all that matters. Personally I would not.

How are you finding the smarty end links? Do they fit well? I am considering them for my oyster flex mod.

danicasi2002 · 24 May 2019, 07:15 PM

The fit is fine but it could be better. There are other end links on eBay but it would fit leather straps and not the thicker OF.

Nice look! I have ordered the SmartyEndLinks as well for my 116523. How do they attach, are they secure? As they are just propted in by the strap is that right?

On another note I am going to order the same strap but am ordering the swim skin ballistic one instead.

I like it. But I prefer an OF setup though.

Looks good.

Great strap! I have the Panerai version. It is very comfortable and you really can't tell is all rubber.

Looks good but a little dressy, I'd have it with white stitches to match up better. I got a white and black perforated racing strap for mine.

You are correct. The end links are secured in place with the strap pushing against it. So there is some play, but it looks fine. Love to see the ballistic bands when you get them on the watch.
