Customized Endlinks for leather straps

[smartyjones18]

After months of frustration waiting for my emails to be replied by one rolex watch genius, Etur aka Eugene, I decided to embark on this journey of no return by tinkering how to copy his prized answer self styled end links on rolex watches. The process was tedious even though I was technical inclined with some mechanical knowledge. Long story short, the pictures show the end products by me (left) and Etur (right)

Mine very close but still needs fine tuning, the gap between bezel is too big

Good job....nice. Been trying to locate Etur for a while too but no respond. Happy to see someone here made something similar. If u happen to produce your endlinks in near future, i will be your 1st customer. Cheers mate.

making it mainly for hobby, will see if this weekend's fine tuning outcome, honestly it took me 2 solid days and many wastes just to produce that tiny piece.

Quick updates; manage to make a few endlinks and all fit nicely on my Daytona. the finishing was lacking in terms of aesthetic, but I'm a happy man, the end is near for me, hahaha

Looks good if you ask me. Possible to get it done on a DatejustII ?

Only one problem my friend.

For TT endlink should be gold in the middle.
Perhaps you can get it plated?

Otherwise it looks really odd.

Honestly I like it this way, I don't prefer with gold centre link, to me it matches the lugs and looks odd with just a small piece of gold centre link, but can't say if it's on TT bracelet.
