oysterflex mod for Daytona 116500LN?

After seeing the beauty of another members recent purchase of Whitegold daytona oysterflex, got me thinking....

What parts would I need to put an oysterflex on my SS?

Endlinks and clasp (but I guess rolex only make white gold and not stainless)
Oysterflex strap

Are there any OEM quality third parties worth considering?

Everest bands makes one that’s close. Not for me but if that’s what you are looking for, check out their website.

Not cheap, but easy to do. You do not need another clasp, as the one that came with your watch will work perfectly.

Parts needed
1) Basic Tool Set to remove bracelet and links (will explain)
2) Genuine OysterFlex Bracelet, from classifieds or AD. Do NOT look on ebay there are terrible fakes there that I would not trust!
3) Smarty EndLinks (AK gave the link above)

What you need to do

1) Lay the watch on a hand towel
2) Remove bracelet
3) Unscrew last link on both sides of the clasp
4) screw in the clasp to both sides of OF straps
5) Insert smarty end links into the lugs one at a time
6) install the OF strap on both sides of the watch head
7) Enjoy (and share photos!)
