Oysterflex on BLNR

Maybe not as exciting as the BLNR Oyster bracelet on the new BLRO, but still fun. It actually wears and looks in person, much better than it photographs. Definitely enjoying it!

Chadri! I was genuinely waiting to see how long it would be after your BLNR incoming before it went onto an OF bracelet! Bit longer than I expected

It looks really good! I can only imagine it feels as light as a feather now. As does mine when it’s on the Everest!

Enjoy!

haha yeah it took me a little while, but I think the jubilee is my favorite combo, so it will always have some tough competition. I also ordered a blue everest, so I don't think it will stay on OF for much longer.

It is definitely lighter, but still has the right amount of "heft". Having owned a 116519 in white gold on OF, I have to say, the weight feels a little more like that, but perhaps a little more balanced. The daytona on OF def feels light as a feather.

Love the look. I am just waiting for my end links to swap on the OF to the BLNR. I feel it makes it look more sporty. What endlinks did you use, the Daytona ones?

Test fitted below a couple weeks ago.

Looks pretty good without the endlinks too!

I'm using the same ones I use for my daytona, purchased from smartyjones18. His website is smartyendlinks.com but I reached out to him directly here on TRF.

I tried using my Dayonta ones but couldn't get the spring bars in. One side went in but the other wouldn't fit and I did not want to force it.

Hello,

Excellent combination, but from where you can get the oysterflex and the end-links? Directly from rolex?

Looks great to me. I’d love to pick up an OF to go on my Daytona.

Definitely don't want to force anything, but that's strange. George made them? Mine "clicked" in with no problem. They're holding tight.

Thanks! You'll have to keep a close eye on the classifieds or get hooked up from your AD. Or of course take them from a watch that comes with OF.

I love my BLNR on the OF - never even bothered to try the bracelet

Did not use end links though, I take it into pools and water and wash my hands a lot at work so wanted to get as much air exposure as possible

Thanks for sharing, looks great with the end links. It would be awesome if you could get the Everest band blue color on an OF!
