Oysterflex sizing? E-E vs E

[BqZeoMoDrq]

Does anyone know what's going on with the Oysterflex sizing? I've seen many pictures and the sizes vary from either just 1 letter, C-H, or 2 letters E-X where E is always the same and X goes from C-H.

Take a look at the two pictures I attached.

There doesn't seem to be any pattern related to whether it's the 6 o'clock or 12 o'clock band, either. I've seen it all be 1 letter, or all 2 letters, or mix like the pictures.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Original Oysterflex straps that first came out had the two letter configuration E-D, E-E, E-F etc.

This was updated to the single letter I believe three years ago but no other differences have been noticed.

Rolex suggests having the shorter strap on the 6 o'clock side and longer on the 12 but some people have used two E's so you can use any strap length on any side.

I found e/EEs on both sides work for my 6.6 inch

Exactly this.

Also, you will find threads herein that will tell you that the letter represents the number of links, e.g.,

on my metal bracelet Daytona I have 5 links on one side, and 6 links on the other … in an OysterFlex on Daytona, I wear an E on one side, and an F on the other side (the side for each is individual as to fit / comfort) …

5 links = E … which is the fifth letter in the alphabet

6 links = F … which is the sixth letter in the alphabet

One letter ie “E” is a newer production compared to two letters ie “EE.” Otherwise they are the same
