Enter Buzz Killington from stage left. Actually, no, it's not just rubber.

For those who have tried on other watches with rubber straps, the Oysterflex BRACELET is a significant upgrade. It's made of a dense elastomer which is hypoallergenic and extremely non-reactive. It's called a bracelet because it has a solid titanium core, which maintains its rigidity and strength. It also incorporates 'fins' to wick away sweat and allow for slight variances in wrist size without needing to change the bracelet size.

Ask anyone who owns an Oysterflex Rolex and they'll likely concur. Other rubber straps simply don't compare: RubberB, Everest, Patek OEM, AP, etc...

Well described. I should also add that the OF is so well thought out - the fins help keep the watch stable and balanced on the wrist, which can be a problem for PM watches on strap. It's a strap that's anything but cheap, it is very fitting for a PM Rolex.

Rubber B and Everest can't hold a candle to the Oysterflex. I've owned both and each time they lasted less than a day as they didn't feel matching for the quality of a Rolex. Patek and AP rubber can't hold a candle either.

Hopefully Rolex will come with a 2-tone ceramic Daytona.
