Fitting CRPO bracelet to Samsung Gear 3 classic

[Silwer]

Thinking about purchasing my first smartwatch in addition to my several HQ reps. Gear S3 seems like a reasonable choice with 3 days battery life. 

However, I am not happy with the Gear S3 standard or eBay strap / bracelet options that I can find.

 

I have an extra Noob CRPO 45mm bracelet. Was thinking that the lug with is the same - 22mm and case sizes are also similar 45 vs 46mm.

Could I fit CRPO bracelet to Gear S3 Classic? Does it look ok?

 

I do not have Gear S3 to test it out. Thought that maybe someone here has the watch and bracelet and could test it out how would it look...

Thanks!

It would be a long shot, but if you

want to try and make it fit go ahead. My guess though is that it won’t fit without a lot of work.

Today I went to the shop and tested it out. Metal bracelet definitely does not fit. Endlink curve is different diameter. Does not sit close enough to the watch. Also bracelet and Gear S3 Classic finishing is different - it will not look good together.

Might be that CRPO rubber strap can be fitted as rubber is bit flexible. Anyway, will order S3 Frontier - black version of the Gear S3 and will try to find suitable aftermarket strap that has curved ends and also will try to fit the CRPO rubber strap to see how will it look...
