Oysterflex on 116518?

[ILikeTacos]

I saw on IG @wristwatcher put an Oysterflex on his Ceramic Daytona that originally came with a leather strap.

I have a 116518; if I source an Oysterflex, would that also fit my watch assuming I could use the same clasp that I already have? Might give new life to a watch that gets very limited wrist time.

Your clasp won't fit, sorry to say.

This. You'd need to buy a new clasp.

look at what you could sell it for. Once you buy a PM clasp and OF straps which are like $800 you might as well get a new watch that comes on OF. Assuming you bought the existing one well it could be pretty close in terms of expense.

In any case, i would have a hard time paying what its going to cost for that conversion.

The PM clasp price is probably outrageous, but the OF straps run about $240 per piece.

But Rolex has released a new leather strap that works with the OF clasp. So you could potentially have the best of both worlds. Who knows, maybe RSC would work out a deal with you to trade in the old clasp.

I checked with Razny and unfortunately the strap and the clasp both don’t work They offered me a decent deal on the WG Daytona on OF so might have to pull the trigger and ship this one out
