Wow wow wow. Love it. I like the end links but the lugs are slim so I can see it either way. You got me thinking!

On the sub I like it without end links, on the Daytona I like the end links.
Im used to wearing one of my subs on NATOs so that may be why I like it without more as it is what I am used to seeing.

I tend to agree but still wouldn't do it on a Sub. See the YM40 126655 for reference.

Hi Guys
I ordered ends links from 3 places , smartyendlinks, ewatchparts and another on off etsy and when fitted with genuine oysterflex the bezel is jammed. It won't turn. Only for the 16610t models, pre ceramic. I think it looks better without the end links now tbh. One thing I'll say is the 16610 was made for the oysterflex. The watch feels and sits perfectly. One issue I had with the bracelet is through wear it sags a lot and hangs around the wrist. I think the bracelet suits the 126610ln and should be left on the bracelet as I owned one and moved it on last year. I like big watches as I wear a speedy 57 orange coaxial att 44.5.m and its a beaut but when I put the oysterflex on the 16610t pre ceramic...its a game changer. That's how imo the watch should've been sold.

I'm 100% on team endlinks! I really love how they give it that finished look. Or, if no endlinks, I prefer the strap that fills in the gap right up against the case.

You may be using the wrong sized end links (I know, thanks ‘Captain Obvious’!). I have sourced end links from a variety of vendors and my go to #1 is Revival Strap. www.revivalstrap.com. Their end links seem to fit better without a ‘footer’. Just my .02 of course. Do your own DD.

Off the wrist I think without, but on the wrist it looks better with the end links fitted

Very curious to see the bottom! Thanks in advanced!

Pics are of my Batflex, but end links came from the same source: Revival Strap. No feet on these.
