Milgauss – the alternative look
Hello All,
I just finished my end-links design for the Milgauss I know, this may be not everyone's cup of tea, but I really like the Milgauss on leather strap Comments, critique are welcome… Thanks! Eugene |

Not my cup of tea at all Eugene to be fair. Just doesn't look right.
However, looks like a good job and no doubt may look good on some models. |

An interesting look. Would be really useful to see how it looks without the end links.
Personally I find the endlinks design (the Rolex design, not your great reproductions of it) somewhat odd, and think a simple strap between standard lugs is more 'normal' looking. |

Its a great alternative look. My primary look is the factory bracelet, but this leather strap/endlink setup is a sweet alternative for a change of pace.

Rolex end-links are patterned after a bracelet's links (hence the name). So we've got what appears to be the beginning of an Oyster bracelet, but then it turns into a strap. |

Fantastic.
I've been thinking and wondering how a "modern" Rolex might look with a strap. Even better, my only consideration for a Rolex with a strap is a Milgauss. Answers my question, though please, would you be kind enough elaborate on how the end links were selected, which model are they from and how do they (or do they?) integrate with the strap? Straps on Rolex, somewhat polarises opinions. Viva la difference! |
