Just had them put on. Needs a little tweaking for correct fit on the manufactured side. Maybe 1mm higher and 1/4 mm wider ??

George, thanks, pics to follow.. Would like imput from forum members please on this.

its definitely wrong measurements, needs to adjust height and lug width. I thought the lug width was 21mm as indicated by you, but it looks like 22mm. will do a research in the net to see if I could make it perfect.

OR, did I send you the wrong end links, please measure the links width and let me know please.

Regards
George

Tudor BB is 22mm.

Tudor is 22mm.

Runnin' Rebel · 1 October 2013, 02:07 PM

Hi George,
Here's the thread. I kept reading and kept researching. I thought it was 22mm as well

No problem. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=312953

Let me know what to do, I'm sure a few peeps want a pair as well. I'll measure what you sent and PM you

Hi mark,

To make up for my mistake, I bought a preowned black bay just hours ago so that a perfect BB end links will be ready this week and will ship on Monday.

We won't have to guess the measurements anymore.

Cheers
George

That's service with a smile, George!

Cru Jones · 3 October 2013, 01:14 AM

yeah, those are a bad fit for the BB. no way around it.

not only that, but, i'm not convinced that with the distressed strap one should use end-links. i think end-links fit better for a dressy look.

Hi George , You are really..... a Kiasu, I guess. Keep the excellent work. I am waiting for a pair for BB after things are done.

Hi doc, it won't be long, will post pictures when done. Stay tune. You know what's kiasu, that means you're a frequent visitor to Singapore.

We share the same currency...of course... its only 2 hrs flite..good nite.

Just buy some super glue and duct tape and it will fits like a OJ's glove.

Runnin' Rebel · 3 October 2013, 06:13 AM

Good stuff George !!
I'm sure when it's perfected it will look amazing

I'm ready

These were only prototypes if no one knows the history of what's up with this. No Black Bay was used to try these on prior to shipping around the world. Let's see what the look is on the leather before judgement.

George, this the ultimate customer service. Superb really. I got my end links today and soon will share pictures. Great job mate.
I'll now think of the BB since you're working on it. Really didn't like the "gap" on the leather strap.

Cheers!

CrownMe · 3 October 2013, 10:12 AM

yikes....looks like the day a long time ago that i wore my little sisters socks to school

JK cant wait to see the BB with proper endlinks, its going to look great. I miss my BB alot

Tend to agree

Old Expat Beast · 3 October 2013, 04:22 PM

Prefer curved ends like this for leather straps.

Smartyjones18 · 3 October 2013, 08:56 PM

Hi mark,

This is what I had for your end links;

Thanks George, looking forward to pictures.

DrAlias · 4 October 2013, 07:40 AM

That is seriousssss..George. May be you can sell the end links with the watch after it is ready. You got too many watches... you may have space constraint later...TQ.
