End links for a Daytona

Does anyone here know where I can find endlinks or does anyone make custom ones for a Daytona 6 digit ref? I’d like to get the oyster flex and leather strap but I’d prefer not to have the gaps..

Any help would be appreciated

Oyster flex and leather Rolex strap will not retro fit a SS daytona.

The OF fits no problem. The look is not complete with the endlinks which as the OP already seems to know, would be aftermarket.

I bought mine from smartyjones18 here on the forum. Also the same owner of smartyendlinks

The leather strap however will not fit the standard clasp if either 6 digit SS Daytona, but rumor has it rolex updated the leather straps to fit the new clasps.

I have to thank Chadridv for all the advice and input on getting home sweet SS end links. Would recommend the Smartylinks route as well. They’re not 100% perfect, but looks way better than the gaps and the only person that noticed the slight imperfection me is. All other friends who collect watches and have held the watch in their hands haven’t noticed.

Thanks my friend!

And yes I agree. They're not 100% perfect, but they look great. Dan (rossi46) also tried out like 4-5 different end links from various sellers and found the smartylinks to be the best all around.

He said there was one other maker that he felt the quality was a little better, but he simply couldn't get them to fit and of course didn't want to force anything.

Oh and this thread needs pics...

Can anyone advise which end links to order from smarty Jones? It’s showing the watch reference on 3 different product and want to make sure I order the correct pair.

Just click the 116520 and the drop down will show the 116500. I ordered last month. Hopefully will be with me any day now.
