Had an exciting day with my AP 15400 returning from APSC with a new crystal and full service.

Not sure exactly what that has to do with me playing around with the oyster flex lol! But I think having the Royal Oak back got me on a bracelet kick.

Since I wear my SS Daytona most often I decided to take the jubilee off the 16710 put it on the Daytona, which left me with a lonely Oysterflex Strap. So for now it will live on the GMT. I was quite surprised at how much I like the look and feel of this combo!

Enjoy!

Looks awesome

stylinleems · 29 November 2017, 06:49 AM

Did you use the same Daytona endlinks on the Pepsi?

Looks great IMHO! =)

I put my LV on the OF but felt the gap was a bit much. But if you confirm the endlinks fit, I'll start using the OF more (as I have the endlinks and two sets of OF straps just sitting collecting dust for now).

haha I literally did the same thing with my LVC and didn't care much for the gaps.

Yes, the end links are the same ones I use for my Daytona. The end links I have are polished in the center which works brilliantly with the daytona, they work pretty well with the 16710 but IMO don't look right with the LVC.

I got mine from smartyjones18, I'm sure he makes them for the SubC also. Gotta use those OF straps!! They're incredible.

Thanks for the info!! I will definitely use them now on the Kermit. (until my Daytona-C shows up... Whenever that will be)

Looks great, way better than it did when I read the title! Good work!

Onikage · 29 November 2017, 06:54 AM

Very cool modernisation! The black insert will really make it I think. Or the coke. Has to have some black there imo but very nice indeed.

I tend to agree. Unfortunately I only have 1 insert

Daytona on Jubilee is the winner

OP - where does one source an OF bracelet?

Looks good.

RichM · 29 November 2017, 01:57 PM

Two winners there.

bbressler · 29 November 2017, 04:09 PM

Wouldn’t have expected to like either combo...but dang, those are sweet

duc888 · 30 November 2017, 04:43 AM

Jubi on Daytona? Huh, not for me......please put the Oysterflex on it, that looks wonderful.
In my opinion the rubber band looks very good on nearly every SS Rolex.

Boaters · 30 November 2017, 05:07 AM

Very very nice really like that look ..

faaaaaaaasterrrrr · 30 November 2017, 05:43 AM

Why mess with perfection????

toucan · 30 November 2017, 07:56 AM

In all honesty the Oyster looks a lot better on the GMT. Like how you experiment though. Very cool.

RW16610 · 30 November 2017, 07:59 AM

Good to know it's possible as it's always nice to have options

carnage9191 · 6 June 2024, 12:56 AM

Sorry for reviving an old thread, which OF Bracelet model would fit the 16710?

The Oysterflex has standard strap-ends; it will likely fit on almost any watch from any manufacturer.

What will not fit on any other watch is the machined in Daytona end-link gap fillers. You need aftermarket spacers for that.

It's funny, while I kinda like it, it's still very clear why Rolex don't offer it as a true catalogue option. Something's just not 100% spot on about it, as a wider, non-divisive option.

Some things, however, should never be done... how about the time I tried a leather strap on my BLNR... hahah

Awful isn't it

I don't think I've removed a strap quicker
