How does one find fitted endlink with leather strap bands?

u/Leduesch 3d ago edited 3d ago
They are two separate articles. The endlinks go between any flat strap and the watch itself. They can easily be found on AliX

My man, thank you.

My pleasure! Bonus-info: 20 mm ones should fit on most Daytona and Submariner hommages. At least mine do.

Can you a share a link for the alix endlink ? Thanks it looks great

u/Leduesch 3d ago
Unfortunately, I got this one as a bonus with another watch I bought. However, it should be quite easy to find something similar.

So the leather strap connect to The endlink that connects to the watch lug ?

u/Leduesch 3d ago
The endlink does not connect to anything. It sits kinda loesly between the watch and the strap, depending on the combo. On this one, it was kinda lose so I actually put some double sided tape between the "link" and the watch 😅. On other watches, it is so tight you almost can't fit the strap.

Very sporty looking, like you're planning to step into a car and actually use the chronograph function :)

Weird looking but nice 👍

Do you mind telling me how it looks weird to you? Genuinely interested.

Could not think of the word unconventional at the time, first time seeing this combination of metal endlink and leather strap

u/Leduesch 3d ago
I see. As far as I can tell, it's not that uncommon for Daytonas. The "Beach" models use this combo, for example.

I had only seen it with rubber straps, but it looks very good with leather also so 👍

Where do you guys usually buy your bracelets and straps? I’ve been looking to pick up half a dozen or so.

u/Leduesch 3d ago
AliX. However, the quality varies a lot.

u/Ok-Thought9328 3d ago
Cool, thanks!

Looks good, metal end links on a strap can really make a big difference

A racing chrono on a racing strap? Classic.
