Icon5 Different color oysterflex bracelets?

Do you think Rolex will ever introduce different colors for the oysterflex bracelet or they'll just keep it as black only?

I think some colors for versatility and to match different models like Patek does would be nice

Considering a large amount of these are damaged prior to ever leaving the ADs when a different size is needed, I would be nervous to have it swapped. As others have stated, the OF straps should have access to the spring bars like the Aquanauts

I can’t see Rolex ever doing it but there are several aftermarket Oysterflex knockoffs that come in colors. I am using one of these on my Speedmaster with the Omega clasp.

Highly doubt it! Rolex does not embrace change.

I have red green blue orange all w the deployant clasp and red and black with tang clasp. Rubber b makes great ones for the 42mm explorer 2 and ceramic daytona rose gold case.

I could see Rolex eventually introducing a navy color or some sort of Rolex green color.

Maybe a celebration oysterflex? :)

Another color or two would be cool. I can't see it happening.

I would say things like celebration OP and the emoji DD have been just goofy enough to indicate that a splash of color is never out of the question. The Daytona beach collection while dated now, is an excellent example of Rolex getting a little weird at times.

I could see Rolex doing something way out there with the oyster flex.

Maybe bring back the Daytona “beach” series with pastel colored oyster flex instead of leather straps. Or maybe a leopard print oyster flex for the off catalog leopard Daytona??

I don't see them doing bright colors. They could maybe add the white version. But if I had to guess white bands turn yellow and/or darken soon so they don't want to launch a product like that. So black is probably the only color you'll be able to get an OF strap in for a long time.

I would say the Oysterflex bracelet represents “embracing change”. So, a new color wouldn’t surprise me.

Like a John Mayer Daytona with a green strap or a new WG Submariner Date with the return of blue dial with matching blue strap.

Now that would look great

Wouldn’t it be great if they shipped the Oyster flex strap with the watch as an option from the factory? I’d pay up for that

I’m surprised that the aftermarket sticker industry hasn’t already thought about this. I mean just slap some stickers on that oysterflex Daytona and bam! You have a tie dye bracelet.

Do you have a link for Rubber B? Can you post some pics of what they look like? Thank you
