hi be a long time since posted
Be offer a 2024 white gold yacht master for 21k ( grey dealer )
Retail 28k in uk .. my only concern is the oyster bracelet
After a few years will it lose it shape and will start to crack ?

Never own a oyster bracelet so any opinions would be appreciated

According to their website they refer to it as Oysterflex. Unless you're talking about a different watch.

Oysterflex has been out since 2015 and I don’t believe I’ve yet heard of anyone having to replace it. If you did your friendly AD or an RSC could sell you replacement halves, or go bold and have something custom made for it.
I put my SS Daytona on OF soon after I got it and wore it at least 150 days during the year I had it on and no visible wear issues at all.

. Good to here it stand up to every day use
Was pretty sure it would do as Rolex bracelet are generally bulletproof
Just never own rubber band watch before . and had some issues with leather/ Neto
Straps in the past admittedly on less expensive watches..

It’s a lot of money so appreciate the info …
