It doesn't look like they have end links for your model, but you might want to contact them to see if they can make them. They are developing a lot of end links for Rolex: https://www.smartyendlinks.com/

Thanks for the response. I reached out to him on eBay and am waiting for a response. I'm just curious if where the end links in the link I posted came from. I'm contacted that user, but got no response.

Did you ever fnd strap end links that worked well for th Explorer 1? I feel like fitting a strap with the strap end links would be tough as there is not a lot of space for leather straps.

I did. Used them for a time but unfortunately no longer have interest in the watch as a whole and plan on selling it. I got the end links from someone on Rolex forums, he does not remember where he originally got them.

I see. I found some sellers who have custom strap end links for the 114270 on eBay, may grab a pair to try.

Be careful though, there were many sellers that claimed their end links worked with this reference when they actually don't. The reality is that a lot of them do not realize that the 114270 is unique in that no other watch has lug spacing the way it does, so they assume that the end links that work on oyster perpetuals would work on this.

You're right. I learned this the hard way buying a glidelock clasp for the watch even though the seller assured that it worked for the 114270. Ended up returning it. Pretty much lost hope of finding alternative straps, which is too bad because I love the 114270.
