YM Rosegold Oysterflex 126655 - Got the Call

I anticipate these are becoming quite a bit easier to obtain now, however I got the call to collect mine.

It’s been a watch I have always admired and will sit alongside my 114060 and 126710BLNR. Not a great deal of diversity in the Rolex collection but it will be my first venture into gold, or half way there considering it’s on Oysterflex! I could have gone grey and probably paid marginally less, but for whatever reason I do still like being the first owner of my watches (although appreciate not everyone will have the same driver).

Will post customary pics upon collection.

EDIT: For those with Oysterflex, how have you sized for a 6.5-6.75 inch wrist?

Incredibly beautiful Rolex. I fully agree with you on being the first owner.

I just picked up an OF Daytona earlier this month. I have a 6.65 inch wrist and the size F strap that came with it fit perfectly.

I am also waiting for my 126655 to arrive ( I recently sold my 126621 to fund the upgrade) and I also decided I would prefer to pay a little bit extra and be the first owner. I like the watch to tell my stories....

Congrats!

I have a similar sized wrist and found D/F to be the best fit (after trying a few different ones). It sat slightly strangely with other configurations.
