To that end, I have not seen such end links but looks like Eric has a set and I would presume they are "out there." Good luck in your search.
They are out there - they're actively sold on TRF which is why I directed the OP to that site.

Eture or something like that is the original seller, but his idea has been copied by at least one other TRF guy. Quick posting with my daughter makes it hard to be complete :thumbsup:

Tks for the tip.

UPDATE

Tks for the reference. The name was Etur and apparently doesn't reply to messages and smartyjones18 (based out of Singapore picked up where he left off) I just pm'd him. Here's the link to the thread

I have not "forgotten" about anything..I guess I don't see how this has anything to do with that really...no different than guys making aftermarket straps for watches....so no reason to blow my skirt up over it....doesn't really matter....yes there are folks out there making these, cant recall the guys name but you can look it up on TRF site for sure. That's where I saw it too.

Just giving you shit man. Trust me, if I was blowing up your skirt, you would know. :shifty: ;)

Tks. Just got a reply from George. He only has/makes endlinks like yours and it won't fit the Pelagos rubber. Looking into buying original BB endlinks at the AD

Not sure the original BB endlinks will work with a Pelagos rubber strap. Also not sure you can get them without an entire bracelet. I don't think you're going to find an easy answer to this.

Let's see if I have this right.
You want end links for a Pelagos, to put on a rubber strap, that you can than put on the black bay?

Maybe a stupid question by me, but will the end links from a Pelagos even fit on the black bay case? And they would be titanium, not steel correct?

LOL not quite. Looking to get end links for the black bay in steel, aftermarket or oem to take in the Pelagos rubber strap that I just bought.

Looks great on the ISO. I have seen those links on TRF.
I think they look goofy generally.

Tks! These aren aftermarket but OEM original black bay endlinks to fit the pelagos rubber strap I bought separately. And they are half the price the aftermarket ones as well

I see you found what you were looking for. This may be a dumb question but why not look for straps (or have one made) that have an extension to fill the lug gap? Like Sinn and Omega rubber do? Or any curved end strap? Seems to me to be a better look than installing end links.

True tks. Because I wanted an OEM tudor rubber strap and that's the only suitable one available

Looks OK. How obvious is the metal color difference? I have a Sinn tegimented bracelet that I never wore on my standard sinns because the color was slightly darker...drove me nuts. I suspect this would be the same.

Can't really tell under my current light, I had thought exactly about the same thing but I think the tone of titanium is close enough to the tone of the brushed part of the BB case...besides, it's on the bottom of the wrist so one can't really notice

I just got home, here's a couple of pics between the Pelagos rubber buckle and the black Bay buckle for tone color comparison
