Oyster bracelet convert.
I have to admit I've not been a fan of the Oyster bracelet that is until just recently. I hated the rattling noise my 93150 Sub bracelet made. I was told the rattling noise was due to the "old tuna can style clasp" and you just get use to it. I deceided to give the Sub a new set of Rolex end pieces and the rattles disappeared,amazing how new end pieces make the overall watch look and feel better. As well I received a gift during the holidays from my wife, a new Daytona with the easy link clasp,I'm extremely impressed by the comfort and ease of use of the bracelet. So with this new found Oyster respect I also have put the Oyster back on my GMT ll . So in conclusion after three years of leather,rubber ,nato bands and other various combinations I have to admit I was wrong about the Oyster band . I still like having other options but the Rolex Oyster has stood the test of time for a reason. Anyone else have any similar Love Hate experiences with their Oyster bracelet?

I know what you mean, I'm kind of partial to my 9315 on Tudor Sub, love the folded links, extremely comfortable, that said the Easy Link is a nice piece of engineering.

Newfound love for that which is new...
I have both tuna and fliplock - GMT has tuna, Expl.II has fliplock. Keep them both loose so each rattles about the same
