will Oysterflex 21mm fit Air-King 126900?

[FranciscusM]

Hello fellow Rolex aficionado(a)s, my first post here > happy new year!
Hope someone knows if the 21mm Oysterflex strap will fit on the latest Air-King 126900 (21mm lugs). As I read that the AK case and lug-dimensions are somewhat different than the Yacht-Master where this 21mm Oysterflex is meant for.

Should be able to attach no problem. I used a 20mm oysterflex on the 116900. I’ve also used the 21mm oysterflex on my OP41.

The more important part is getting the right strap length for a comfortable fit.

Thanks RCC Watches, very helpful and reassuring!
According to a strap size guide, I'd need F+G for my 7.2 wrist (18 cm).
Through Chrono24, I've found an option to buy new strap for approx USD 600.

Another question you can probably answer; does the oysterflex strap require a different clasp/buckle than the one on the standard steel band (new version)?

Welcome to TRF. Any thoughts about maybe going with another brand of strap? Ones like Everest and Rubber B have some that look pretty nice. Quite a bit less expensive than the genuine OF too. They will be able to reuse your bracelet clasp as well.

I was able to use the standard clasp without issue.

thanks and yes, I also use a different rubber strap brand on my Explorer II (20mm), but I haven't found a good alternative for the 21mm Air-King.
