Wow Incredible responses and show of support my friends. Thank you all that commented and congratulated me. Being a daily the fact that I will get so much use out of this watch has me more excited than so many other amazing pieces I own or owned in the past! Thanks again Everyone!

I don't know the part number, but it's the one and only OEM Rolex Oysterflex Rubber Bracelet. Thanks!

The watch is an AD bought complete set with bracelet, hangtags, card (no stickers :( lol ). I already had the end links and straps and assumed they'd all fit but wasn't sure till I tried. They certainly work!

I don't hate the idea in theory, especially while comparing it to the RG YM. However, the big difference is the lug hole location. On the YM the holes are drilled much closer to the case than any other rolex (i know of). So it diminishes the gap between strap and case, providing that super clean look of the YM. The gap on this watch would be a lot bigger and I already know, not to my personal taste.

Smartyendlinks.com Aftermarket! Thanks.

I hear you in the kids aspect too. I put on my 16610 90% of the time, maybe more so now that my 15 month old sometimes grabs it till I give it to her and then she runs around with it. Other pieces I would never, but the 16610... if I haven’t broken it by now, she (probably) can’t.
Enjoy it!
Thanks my friend! You're a brave man. I let my kids run wild with my gshock but never a Rolex, not even this one haha! But either way, i'm glad you have a watch that you truly enjoy and live a carefree lifestyle with. That's the whole point right!?

Looks fantastic. I'd definitely put OF on a lot of my watches if it was readily available for all models.

Black on black. The Explorer Tuxedo watch.

Looks great. I may get the Oysterflex band to switch out from time to time for some variety on my daily wearer Explorer.

Here are the PN’s for size EF & EE OF Bands. This is the standard size that come with Daytona so depending on your wrist size, you will have to order accordingly. I have the OF on my BLNR and it is very comfortable.

Looks sharp and clean. I think the OF Bands should be offered on all watches since they are so comfortable. I know there is a stigma that it's " a rubber band " but unless you have tried the OF band, it is very versatile and a great daily band.

Not generally an explorer fan, but I must say I AM IN LOVE with what you did here, and as Tyler said, I would immediately buy one if Rolex were to come out with this design. Well done sir!

Nice and big congrats. I think it looks great on OF! You were the inspiration for me to get an OF for my 500LN and I love it.

Enjoy your new watch and thanks for the great write up and pics.

Looks good chad,

Just wondering did you use the end links from your Daytona C or did you buy new ones?

In no order here are the models that should give the option to purchase a oysterflex

Sub LN
Daytona C
GMT LN
Explorer
