I understand the purpose, but here you can see the "straight" gen endlinks

Would these fit the rep without modification?

How do they move on the gen if they are straight? Is the gen case somewhat different from the rep?

I had a photo of the stock rep plots and the shape look the same as your gen plots.

Hi peeps,
Im pretty new here, got to know of the forum 6mths ago and immediately immersed myself into this wonderful abeilt frustrating journey.
Learnt a whole lot from the experience members on here and wish to sincerely thank every single one of you.

Recently I pulled the trigger on a 15710 V9 JF close caseback diver. Apart from the green hands that are really driving me crazy( my love hate r/s w the watch, more love though haha!)
Ive been really wanting to do the flexible endlink mod.
Wonder which forumer has done it alrdy? I know dashindark has done it(btw thankyou brother for taking the time to reply me really appreciate it!), but really wondering who else have done it.
I would really wish to learn and replicate the results and then do up a tutorial for others like me. Please feel free to leave your advices.
Cheers!
Ps sorry for the long intro

Just bought a v9... what you you mean „Green Hands“?

Rufctr2 oh wow. so just buying gen plots and gen strap should be fine.

I always wanted to buy a gen strap but was worried it might not fit well on a rep case.

Anyone tried the the plots (endlinks) from APbands conversation kit?

http://www.apbands.com/PROD/APB-ROO-RUBBER-CONV-NOTOOLS.html

I am thinking about changing my XF AP 15707CE plots or endlinks to improve the flexibility of the end links.

Anyone?

Thank you.

It should work if you don't mind the price... $200+ for the aftermarket plots

 

[Topcatz]

Yes,. It is expensive. But I am not skilled enough to sand down the rep plots.

I saw the APbands plots and thinking about it.

Thank you for your reply.

topwatchparts is less expensive

but in my experience if you buy a strap with plots from TD is a much better deal

 

[Topcatz]

I am looking for plots that are looks gen when installed on an XF 15707.

I am thinking of replacing the rep plots on the XF 15707.

I will look into the topwatchparts.

Thank you.

Two kind reminders:
1. The four endlinks are different. Two of them are prominent and should be placed below the case. The other two are flat and should be placed above the case with the part of strap that has the tang buckle. I couldn’t believe that the rep factory replicated such detail, but it’s real. I spent additional 2 hours to get it right, one hour searching gen photos to see how it should be on the gen, and one hour reinstalling them. It Should have been finished a lot earlier if I knew this.

Not sure what you mean about this. I have five divers and all 4 endlinks are exactly the same on them.

I also have done this mod, but differently than that video and the suggested way. I took off an even amount from the front (part facing the case) maintaining the same angle and profile it had. You have to take off quite a bit.

Mind sharing what the result looks like?
