INCOMING - Explorer I on Oysterflex

[travisb]

Gotta say that does look great on OF!
I can appreciate your thoughts on collecting as well.

[Aymara59]

You spoke from the heart! Thanks for sharing! Congrats and wear it in good health!

[MCO1]

One of my favorite watches...it looks outstanding on the Oysterflex. I might have to go down that road with mine sometimes.

[mjclark32]

Congrats! Your photos are just ridiculous!
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!

[Hollie_Rollie]

That’s a very cool set up. I love it

Looks cool on OF, enjoy. Is this a smarty EL like the Daytona?

[subprimero]

The Explorer fantastic on the Oysterflex. Great job!

[GarageBMW]

What a great write up and so nicely done with the Explorer. The Oyster Flex on it is simply sublime, well done and thanks for sharing.

[watchwatcher]

Looks right at home on the OF, my friend.

Agree 100% with your post. Congrats!

[r8t3d_M]

Congratulations Chad! Awesome pictures as always!

Looks much better than I'd have imagined. I like it! Well done!

[DLRIDES]

I’ve never cared for the Oysterflex, ....................... UNTIL NOW !

That looks fantastic on the Explorer !

[Indy11]

Looks amazing, but I’m definitely a sucker for anything on the OF. Thanks for sharing the background on how you got there, great read!

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!

Thank you! Smartyendlinks.com

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.

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!?

Could you post a picture of the underside of the watch? I’d like to see how the endlinks, case, and strap all come together.

Unfortunately the endlinks appear to be out of stock at smartyendlinks.com

Great watch and an excellent look with OF, so much added versatility!

[Aloha808]

OMG. That explorer looks stunning with that oyster flex, what a beauty.

[Urosfan]

Might be the first Oysterflex I like. Nice.

[RTG]

Looks fantastic! I could really see Rolex releasing an SS on oysterflex.

[hodie9]

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