How do you size the Oysterflex band?
As the title says. Are the Oysterflex bands for the RG Yachtmaster and 2017 Daytona's adjustable? Do they come in several sizes? Or do you have to cut them to fit like the bands for the Aquanaut 5167?

Only the micro adjustments on the clasp. If you need it significantly larger or smaller you need to buy a different size strap. Cutting it and punching new holes might work I haven't seen anyone try though.
If you haven't bought the watch yet the AD will get you the right size one when you purchase though. |

Thank you, that's what I was wondering if there were different size straps available.
With just the micro adjustments and I assume there is extend-a-link like most other tool versions, that doesn't leave much room for adjustment. |

I realize this is off topic, but do the watches that come w/Oysterflex cost less than a bracelet? I would hope so.

Hey, so i just bought the Everose Yachtmaster and went through the sizing process last week. Essentially, there are four different lengths of oysterflex band for each side of the bracelet, meaning eight total. The AD will measure your wrist and get the corresponding sizing right and pull the exact pieces they need. Note that if you need to get a different size, you'll have to surrender your old bracelet and buy the new pieces, which are $175 each, so about $350 for a complete set (crazy for straps, but "cheap" by Patek standards). I would NOT recommend punching holes in the bracelet to resize it as there's a nickel/titanium support inside that you could damage.

No they cost more. Just look at the new daytona gold pieces.
