Platona with Oysterflex

Does anyone know if the oysterflex from the WG Daytona can be fitted to the PT Daytona?

I am just wondering if I purchase a platona if I could have that option if I wanted it.

Thanks

Never seen this, that's a lot of cash to leave in a drawer.

.


That should fit, but that should also won't be nice as the Platinum Daytona don't have the endlinks delivered with Oysterflex Daytona.

Process would be the same as it was for my 116500.

- source the Oysterflex
- have custom Platinum Endlinks made $$$$$ :)
- use the original bracelet clasp

Totally possible, but not easy...

Thanks

Didn't realize about the PT endlinks needed so wouldn't do it if I ever took the dive to the platona.

Quite

Not for me. With the brown bezel it would need to be on brown rubber (IMO) and its not a good look.

I think it could be done as explained above but I think that one of the best things Rolex does on PM models is the bracelet. I would not do it and I don't like the look.

Why not put it on an Everest rubber band? I know it is not an Oysterflex but should satisfy the urge. Def not my cup of tea but to each their own. Good luck!!

I am expecting to see this as a novelty as this year to mark 5th Anniversary to the Daytona 116506
