Can latest Noob Daytona 116519 be changed from rubber strap to bracelet?

[rek00001]

Hi guys, so I saw somewhere on the net one of the new version Daytonas, ceramic bezel grey dial, black subs (you know the one selling for $700.00 - why so expensive?), that normally comes with rubber strap - but it was on a bracelet.

It looked stunning! Can this be done? Is this something I could ask a TD to procure fro me?

Thanks in advance.

There is something about the use of the end link and the springbar holes on the rubber strap reps that makes swapping to a bracelet not simple. I know it was widely known to not be possible on an ARF models. I have seen it done on a Noob but the result was not particularly good. Your best bet would be to buy a Noob watch with bracelet configuration and swap in the dial and bezel you want. Note the poor SEL fit in the linked pic. One end of the SEL high, one end low, poor fit to case.

TD will not source a custom watch for you. Only what you can find on a site to send a link to them.

The cases of the 116519s and the 116500s are completely different. Lugs are different, spring bar mounting points do not align the same, etc.

Thanks for replies guys.

Don't flame me but I found a Parnis for $100 that would do the job, not sure about it.

What you saw was someone who took a gen white dial ceramic and dropped the white gold dial into it to make it look like a ceramic PM piece. It was on TRF somewhere a while back.

This may help put it in perspective. I put my 116519 and my white 116500 together to illustrate the case differences:

You can see everything about the case is different with regards to the lugs. They are not interchangeable.
