116503 to 16518 conversion (sort of)

Hey everyone, decided to change things up with my 116503. I always liked the 16518 so I bought some endlinks and a strap and this is what I ended up with. I'm kinda liking it but I can convert it back with zero issue.

Be as honest as you want, I won't be offended. Maybe we'll get some laughs out of it.

Lastly, first time posting so my apologies if the pics aren't the best. It was a pain to angle my wrist with the lighting. That's why the strap looks tight in one of the pics.

Not my cup of tea...Great piece on the bracelet though. Wear what you like though.

Some will like it, some will not. That's the amazing thing about watches, straps, bracelets, dials.... Something out there for everyone!

My opinion...Yup I like it. Looks very classy and looks good on you!

Welcome to the Forum. Not bad as a change up. I have had a lot of fun over the years with straps on my watches. Who is to say what works for you.

Each to their own but I think it looks terrible (you asked for honesty!) two tone doesn’t work on any strap in my eyes personally and the dial colour doesn’t marry with the strap :)

OUCH!!! LOL - all good, appreciate the honesty. At least I didn't get the vomit emoji.
