I been wanting to put Rolex Oysterflex on my submariner. I really think it looks good and makes sense, Diver on rubber strap. Overall I think the OF is really comfortable and the blades on the inside is a very nice design.
This is actually my first time changing bracelet myself, I’m actually pretty happy with the outcome... No scratches!

The only small issue is I feel like size D on my 6 o’clock side is slightly longer than I want. I probably need a size C due to the large clasp.

Great job, rubber on a sub is perfect. I’d go leather on a Daytona. Biased because that’s what I did.

Sick!!! Looks great

I wouldn’t be surprised if the next iteration of Submariners have the option of Oysterflex.

Looks really good! Rolex please take note :)

I wish I can fit the SD43 With an Oyseter Flex.. I just love the OF and what you’ve done is one beautiful modification that Rolex should offer to all divers as an option in my opinion.
Congrats.

Thank you! I think SD43 has slightly larger lug width. I am not so sure. They should definitely offer it. Maybe soon

SD43 is 22mm so it’s a no go. Would look silly IMO. Next closest would be the OFs from the 42mm WG YM. But those still come short at 21mm.

Loving my everest band though for my SD 43

Congrats OP! Nice work. I’m a huge fan of the OF as most around here know.

Dr.Stu · 13 January 2020, 04:41 PM

I think you might just have something there! How did you get the OF?

daOnlyBG · 13 January 2020, 04:54 PM

Nice. FWIW, I think it makes sense, too.

GradyPhilpott · 13 January 2020, 04:58 PM

faimag · 13 January 2020, 05:12 PM

Quite nice. I like the no-endlinks look on this (and of course, the YM).

Yes me too. I prefer this way.

I think it looks better and I don’t want aftermarket parts on it.

Swiss Mad! · 13 January 2020, 05:15 PM

Nice -

Couple of questions if I may?

Just wondered how you managed to source the Oysterflex, I always thought Rolex didn’t supply parts for watches they were never originally supplied with?

Did it fit straight on or did you have any issues getting it to fit?

How did the price compare to say an Everest or Rubber B band which, no disrespect, visually would look pretty similar?

Thanks

Thank you,

Yes I will answer your questions here.
So you can find some seller selling Original OF on this forum’s classified page. And yes. Rolex normally will not sell to you if you don’t have the watch to go with it( YM or Daytona). So you might need to ask around your AD or ask a friend who has those watches to purchase for you.

Yes. It fit perfectly to exact on the lug 20mm. I have no issue get it on. It was my first time to adjust bracelet myself. And it was not bad at all. Went smoothly.

They cost double than Rubber B and Everest. Many people prefer Rubber B and Everest as they are very nice products and don’t have a “gap” in between the lugs. I personally prefer Rolex Original parts so I went with the Oysterflex and think it’s worth it. The price is acceptable for a $8000+ watch to me. Also the look is just like how they done on the Yacht-Master

Hope this helps

Looks great rubber on a dive watch is so practical.. Rolex should offer the option of a OF on all their divers instead the metal bracelets .

Better still, Rolex should give you an OF as well as the Oyster bracelet.

Yaz · 13 January 2020, 07:51 PM

Looks good.
I am not really into oysterflex bracelet but on this Sub it looks better than other (YatchMaster, Daytona).
Nicely done !
