Daytona - not possible to put a bracelet on it ??
Hi
Does anyone know whether it's possible to put a (white gold) bracelet on a Daytone model 116519, i.e. one originally fitted with a leather strap? A friend of mine was told it is not possible to do that, which I find a bit strange. Can't see why really, provided Rolex hasn't put the lug holes in different positions. |

It's not possible without removing the "end link" where the strap is attached to, which requires the removal of the bezel. Even then, I have my doubts as to whether a Rolex bracelet would sit flush against the case, and actually purchasing a genuine Rolex WG bracelet would cost a small fortune

So then, by the same logic, you could put a leather strap on a Daytona originally fitted with a bracelet, but it would look weird, correct ? (i.e, too big of a gap ?)

I have been looking to find a way of fitting a 116519 bracelet to my 116520 . Doesn't seem to work . I even toyed with the idea of getting the end links from a vintage Tudor , but one would have to drill extra holes between the lugs ... no way I'm having that done .
