Sky-Dweller question

I have a Sky-Dweller yellow gold on a leather strap 326138 and I was wondering if it's possible to swap out the leather strap for a yellow gold bracelet? Thanks guys!

I would think you could. I would take it into an AD to confirm. Good luck.

I thought I remembered reading you can't. Did a quick google and found this:

It would be more easy to buy an Oyster WG SkyDweller and negociate dial change with your AD.

You cannot because the endlink are different on strap watches.
As you can see from the photo above the strap endlink are
Permanent on the watch. And the bracelet endlink are on the bracelet

You cannot - it is made to not be compatible.

Rolex Guy Says: buy it on a bracelet if you want it on a bracelet.
You don't get the option to swap it out.

Shout out to the people who give advice without knowing the answer.

Yo yo yo - while you're at it - what will the weather be in Negril on the 4th of July?

I had this exact question and asked it at Watches of Switzerland in London. I'm a bit surprised that I was told it wouldn't be a problem to swap the strap for bracelet (albeit an expensive option!) - but reading above it clearly is!!

Thanks for the info
