SkyD bracelet onto the RG strap version

I have a RG SkyD on leather - Does anyone know if the OEM bracelet fits the strap version?

Any guidance on what they retail at / what I should expect to pay?

I will check back for an answer as I really like the YG silver dial but prefer a bracelet.

I believe in the other models (ex. Daytona) the metal braclet models will take a strap but not the other wa around. I believe this is a cost issue, the braclet model is more expensive than the leather strap model.

Yes and also with the BLRO bezel insert not being interchangeable with the SS GMT bezels I think Rolex are not offering cheap ways to upgrade their watches now.

Yes, Eiseman's jewelry store in Dallas had a Skydweller event last week and had every model, including every leather strap model with it's matching bracelet on.

Just out of curiosity ... are the bracelet models available on straps? For example, was there a strap version of the ivory dial sky-d? Thanks,

Spoke to AD today, strap can be fitted to bracelet models but not vice versa, it's to do with the location of the holes in the lugs

Only way to get a face off the strap model onto a bracelet is to buy the bracelet mode and have the dial changed

Hmmm...it seems like we had a member here buy the strap versions of the RG and WG on bracelet...at least, that was my take.
