ROLEX PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY CHART
DAYTONA ON STRAP
YELLOW GOLD & WHITE GOLD MODELS
CLASSIC SERIES ( M101)
- THE M101 STRAP IS DESIGNED FOR ROLEX MOVEMENT MODELS ON LEATHER STRAP (the
seconds hand subdial is located at the 6 o’clock position on the dial).
- FOR ZENITH MOVEMENT MODELS ON LEATHER STRAP (the seconds hand sub-dial is
located at the 9 o’clock position on the dial), the strap will not mount naturally. THERE IS AN EASY
MODIFICATION TO MOUNT THE STRAP TO THE ZENITH MOVEMENT CASE: In a back and forth
motion with the blade of a pair of scissors, gradually shave the INSIDE hard raised lip of the strap
insert, and try it on the watch until it fits snug onto the case. Be sure you shave it down gradually,
in order to avoid shaving too much. When done properly, this simple modification will not harm
the look or surface of the rubber strap.
- FOR ALL DAYTONAS: OUR UNIVERSAL STRUCTURE SERIES IS ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH
ANY DAYTONA WHICH COMES ON A LEATHER STRAP. THE STRUCTURE SERIES HAS A RUBBER
BASE, FUSED WITH A GENUINE LEATHER/ALLIGATOR HIDE SURFACE. THE DAYTONA CLASP IS
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE STRUCTURE SERIES.
DAYTONA ON STRAP
ROSE GOLD MODEL
- LEATHER STRAP MODELS ONLY (NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OYSTER BRACELET MODELS).
ROSE GOLD DAYTONA ON STRAP MODELS COME WITH A UNIQUE DEPLOYANT CLASP,
REQUIRING THE RUBBER STRAP TO BE NOTCHED ON ONE SIDE (AFTER CUTTING THE STRAP
DOWN TO THE CUSTOMER’S SIZE). A NOTCH TOOL MUST BE USED (SEE PAGE 9).
IMPORTANT:
THE CLASP MAY FEEL RESISTANT TO CLICK DOWN AGAINST THE RUBBER AT FIRST, BUT
AFTER A WEEK OR SO OF WEAR WITH THE FLIPLOCK CLOSED, THE RUBBER WILL FLATTEN
SOFTLY UNDER THE CLASP WITHOUT RESISTANCE, AS THE RUBBER TAKES THE CLASP SHAPE.

- OLDER WATCHES IN THIS GROUP TEND TO HAVE BULKY, LONG CLASPS WITH A
PERMANENT LINK ON THEIR CLASP. IN ORDER TO GIVE THE OLDER WATCHES A BRAND
NEW FEEL, WE RECOMMEND THE TANG BUCKLE OR VELCRO SERIES FOR OLDER WATCHES,
ALTHOUGH THE CLASSIC SERIES IS COMPATIBLE AND WILL WORK FINE. FOR THE CLASSIC
SERIES ON OLDER WATCHES: NEVER TOUCH THE RIVETED SCREW ON THE OLDER CLASPS.
THE RUBBER B STRAP MOUNTS TO THE REGULAR SCREW ON THE PERMANENT HALF-LINK
WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE CLASP (SEE THE DIAGRAM ON PAGE 10 OF THIS BOOKLET).
CLASSIC SERIES ( M103)
TANG BUCKLE SERIES ( M106)
VELCRO SERIES ( V113)
- FOR ALL WATCH MODELS IN THIS GROUP WHEN USING THE ORIGINAL CLASP: IF A
CUSTOMER HAS A VERY TINY OR VERY LARGE WRIST OUTSIDE OF STANDARD RANGE, THEN
THEY WILL BE EVEN BETTER SUITED WITH THE “CARBON FIBER SERIES FOR SUBMARINER
WITH GLIDELOCK CLASP” (M104 - ON PAGE 5), WHICH IS ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH THE
REGULAR OYSTER CLASP (BY USING ONE LINK FROM THE OYSTER BRACELET ON THE 12
O’CLOCK SIDE).
-- FOR EXTRA SMALL WRIST SIZES, CLASP ROTATION MAY BE NECESSARY TO CENTER THE
CLASP. VIEW THE SMALL WRIST ROTATION DIAGRAM ON PAGE 10 OF THIS BOOKLET.
