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?

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.

Maybe an orange strap coming for the explorer 2.

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. |

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.
