Just for $hits and giggles, I bought a Speidel flexible band for my new-to-me 16013 datejust. Got it off the bay for $18 delivered.

I will be sending my 78363 oyster band to Michael Young for his wizardry, and this will work till I get it back.

Show me yours on a Speidel, here is mine. It actually looks way better than I thought it would, and the fit is very comfortable (also surprising).

Those are Speidel end links...this band is made for the Rolex. Are they that real looking to fool a Rolex aficionado?

Yeah, the twist-o-flex is the watch band my Dad wore on his watch in the 70s. Then my grandfather had one on his Timex till he died. I know it doesn't really "belong" on a Rolex, but what the hell!

Looks great !
I have a number of watches with twist-o-flex bracelets, though none of my Rolexes, and I find them to be more comfortable than anything else out there.

Fooled me! But then again, what do I know!
