Will Daytona band fit on new Sky Dweller?

Hey guys, had a question...is it possible to fit an everose Daytona band to the everose sky dweller? I like the everose sky dweller but would prefer gold band to leather. Thanks!

Best way to find out is to persuade an AD to try it on their stock models.

You'd have to give them a big "If it fits I'm buying" vibe though.

I don't KNOW...but I doubt it. Isn't the SkyDweller a larger case size?

The only thing I know is that they told me that if you do it and send it in for a service . . . warranty is gone . . . and they don't service it

How ridiculous . . . what does changing a bracelet do to the watch itself . . .

But I would love to see it on a Daytona strap !

Who dares to try it . . .

You can just swap the strap back on for the bracelet when it's time to send in for service? It should only take a few minutes to do.

Daytona band is 20mm , SkyD band is 21 mm

Houston, we have a problem ...


The only everose gold band available in 21mm size is the President 83215 (DD II band), which is priced 18500us$.

You can also use a rolesor everose YM II band oyster 78211 , a lot less at 6800us$.

Not the right one, but the least worst . I said "you can use".

There's only one 21mm rose full gold bracelet, the President 83215, as I said.

I see. So there is no everose 21mm in Daytona/oyster style? Only the presidential bracelet.

Fremstar said the DDII band would NOT fit on the SD (if that helps)

Another issue you'll have is how to remove the "end-links" :







If it is mounted the same way it is on a Daytona, it implies you need to dismount the bezel. Problem is on SkyD the bezel is rotative and active. It interacts on the caliber.

Dismounting it is hazardous.
