Leather Strap End Link for 126710 Pepsi

[MRBolton]

I decided to keep my Pepsi ceramic instead of trading for a Sea Dweller. I've been eyeballing some new straps after getting a couple for it--light brown and grey suede. They ended up fitting, especially if I used curved springbars. I've enjoyed both, but want something alligator.

In my search, I was reminded of the strap end links that I think Everest popularized. Everest says that it doesn't fit the new GMT, however. I've asked why and will report back. Anyhow, I asked the custom strap maker who showed them as an example on another watch if it would fit the Pepsi, and he said they would and they were $120. Looking it up, I feel like that's perhaps a little steep for a set of offbrand endlinks that also likely aren't 904L steel. I looked up many options on eBay that were $40-$90. However, I didn't see any that directly said they're compatible with the latest GMT.

I feel like one compatible with the 116610 Submariner should work since I've seen others put their 20mm Glidelock Oyster bracelet on the 126710 (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=704297).

Here's a reference for the product that I'm talking about: https://www.everestbands.com/product...ariner-ceramic

Has anyone found one that they've successfully used with the latest Pepsi or Batman?

I recently acquired a set of Smarty endlinks to use on my YM 40 but the leather strap was too thick near the lugs for the endlinks to fit. I believe they should work for you though. Feel free to PM and I can send you pics. They are brand new and never used.

How thick was the strap? That would be good to know in deciding if it would work anyway. Thanks!

it was thicker than normal straps to be fair. I was trying to push my luck.
