is this the right end link for daytona?
thx u for all ur answer. i really want day c with endlink but cant find oyster flex so bought rubber b.

I might be mistaken, but I think the rubber b straps don’t have spacing where the end link would go. The end link is mean to fill the space (gap) between the strap and case. If there’s no space it certainly won’t fit

You have enough money to buy a decent watch - that snide part fits and looks like a naff solution to me, can't you spend a little on some Rolex OEM parts for strap?

RubberBs usually are designed to be used without endlinks iirc. That's what all their photos show as well. I believe that Everest has straps that can go with endlinks!

Correct, no need for end links. The strap will sit flush against the case between the lugs.

At first look I thought you'd bought the Rubber B strap that has the integral end link (sits flush with the case), but you've not, so the problem is the end links themselves as they are designed to fit with a straight ended leather or oysterflex strap and differ from the Rolex integral end links which come with the PM Daytonas.

You'll need to file down the ends of the Rubber be to make them the same shape as the orsterflex ends

Not in this case. the OP has bought the Rubber B that fits the PM integral endlinks (I had one on my RG daytona as pictured)

His problem is that the integral endlinks are a different design and basically only protrude at the top of the lugs and not on the underside as well the way the aftermarket end links do. The Rubber B strap for this reference actually integrates with the OEM endlink and case much better and more elegantly than the Rolex oysterflex strap does
