1. What do you guys think of this mock up?

2. If it's possible to source the oysterflex, would there be ay fit issues as it would be made for the PM Daytona?

3. If no issues with Oysterflex fit, do you think custom end links, like these from smartyjones18, would work with the oyster flex?

Thanks!

kilyung · 23 August 2017, 12:51 AM

A great look

rmlovett1 · 23 August 2017, 01:24 AM

Looks great!

superdog · 23 August 2017, 01:31 AM

I love it.

Looks better than the wg version imho.

JnmEaton · 23 August 2017, 01:43 AM

very nice

That looks great.

I'd be shocked if the oysterflex doesn't fit. Its no different from any other aftermarket strap in that respect.

Whether it will fit with the custom end links is anyone's guess.

Why not buy a set of endlinks (assuming the 520 links fit your 500) and see if you can try it with an oysterflex?

SWISSAHOLICS · 23 August 2017, 02:13 AM

Wow, that would be awesome and I would love to put it on my Daytona C.

Thanks! That's the plan, but I'd hate to spend upwards of $500 on the idea and have it not work. If the end links don't fit, I'd almost rather just stick with my Everest strap on the Daytona. We'll see. Maybe I'll just take the plunge and find out.

sager · 23 August 2017, 03:08 AM

Looks really good. Didn't think it would look this good.

KrismanX · 23 August 2017, 03:08 AM

I would love to see my '520 on O.F.

AK797 · 23 August 2017, 03:27 AM

I couldn't find one on Google so I am doubtful as the OF is a PM signifier so doubt Rolex would allow it to fit a SS.

Oyster Al · 23 August 2017, 03:28 AM

WOW! Cool!!

ap1 · 23 August 2017, 03:39 AM

corn18 · 23 August 2017, 03:40 AM

Uh, yeah! You may have made the perfect watch.

Oryx · 23 August 2017, 07:13 AM

looks very nice with the end links - not so nice without them

rossi46 · 23 August 2017, 07:21 AM

Damn, that photoshop looks incredible! Certainly worth $500 if it works!

How do you plan on acquiring the OF strap? I keep reading that Rolex will only sell them to owners of watches that come from the factory with OF?

Looks like it doesn't fit then.

Yeah, with endlinks would be perfect. Without is OK but Everest with endlinks is better.

johnnyjazz · 23 August 2017, 07:23 AM

It looks great but i don,t think the end links will fit the same way they fit the larger cased pm daytona on oyster.I think the new pm daytona has been machined further up under the bezel to allow the end links to slide under. For the price you state i would give it a go anyway.

AK797 · 23 August 2017, 07:25 AM

GT2344 · 23 August 2017, 09:51 AM

I've been wondering the same thing! Great idea. I was also wondering if this same thing would work on the new 116655 RG Yacht-Master (adding the PM endlinks)? Why didn't they do that to 116655, add the endlinks?!?! I'd also love to see a rendering of the white face 500.

hbombkid · 23 August 2017, 01:03 PM

I have a OF for my 116610 and works great. There is a small gap but not even noticeable and sometimes I am extremely OCD. The fit and comfort is what sold me. I would think end links would work, but only one way to know

. It will still look great though without the end links though you will not be disappointed.

Good luck trying to source one though. Unless you can find an AD that has one on stock, only way to get it would be to own the PM Daytona or PM RG YM so they would order different sizes. Finally maybe get extremely lucky with a trusted source selling one.

Trusted source who got it from an AD. Came in OEM packaging etc.

It was a little pain

read my posts haha. It was a little big and it was the only one for sale I could have returned it but really wanted it. I ended up getting another clasp for it to fit perfectly. I was ok with that as if I went with a Everest I would have done the same, to lazy to keep swapping a clasp every time I want to swap a strap or bracelet.

regnant · 23 August 2017, 08:29 PM

That's very cool but I would keep it as is

Chadridv · 30 August 2017, 08:17 AM

I have some stuff in the works to make this look happen. Will obviously update you all with progression. Best part about this mod IMO is that it's not really a mod. No permanent changes :)

Thanks all for the comments!

rph08 · 30 August 2017, 10:12 AM

We know the lugs are not the same size thickness that is certain, between pm and ss. Not sure if it matters lug to lug width or not.
