Are the leather straps removable from those links?

You're welcome! You could technically wear the band without the block, but would look really odd.

That bracelet would fit various Rolex models as long they are 20mm lug size. To make sure works on your Daytona, go to their website as you can filter to see the ones available for every watch model.

I had an Everest strap, very nice, well made, soft a flexible, suitable for large wrists. I felt that the design of the strap was best suited for Subs, specifically ceramic subs with the thicker lugs. Just my opinion.

The question is:

WHAT IS THE FORK TIP SIZE THAT FITS A GMT IIC SPRINGBAR OPENING?

Bought a bergeon 6825-ff and it does not fit.

Looking at other tweezer options.

I would not use the single fork tool from Everest or otherwise....

I use the this on my GMT. It comes with 2 tip sizes, the narrow ones for Rolex and the standard size. Works great and cheaper than Bergeon

Thank you. I have been talking to Bill at Esslinger and he can't confirm nor deny that the tool works on Rolex.

What GMT model do you have?

Could you please you post a picture showing that the 1mm tip fits?

Thank you!

Just love the comfort of it . Love the steel bracelet look but this is more comfortable for me . Coming round to the feeling , that I love Rolex watches but prefer rubber / leather straps. Have ordered the racing strap for my Daytona . I hope it changes my outlook on this watch as a result .

Can anyone comment on whether these are hypoallergenic? I broke out when I got a Garmin Fitbit so I'm a bit hesitant to purchase one

Thinking of making the plunge. Just tried out some blue straps with my 116610 and I think it looks amazing

The Everest strap is so comfortable and versatile. I like the sporty look, and keeps the original bracelet mint!

i was an early Everest buyer... i was happy with the product but i can say that my RubberB is a higher quality piece thus far.

i would personally go Rubberb unless the application is not available

Everest significantly changed their design last year, bringing them in line. That being said, I own the newest tang buckle options from both companies, and, while the buckle and hole design of the Everest is better, I do prefer the Rubber B.

I have an early model Everest rubber strap for my SD4K and I love it. It's what stays on the watch full time while the bracelet is safely tucked away. Last week I ordered another Everest rubber strap, this one in white, for my Polar 16570.....I think the white on white will make it a perfect beach/boating watch.

I have recently got a dj2 and looking for exactly this but Everest don't yet cover the 41mm

Does anyone have any experience of anyone doing this in the uk

Looking at apb or smartyendlinks and then trying to gauge a leather strap

Appreciate any insight as I've been scouring the web but can't be looking in the right places

Thanks

I like their rubber straps -- having said that, for smaller wrists, it takes a while (a long while) to get Everest rubber to break in, and fit properly on me. Great quality though.
