Do do this
I love my green OP 41 but I’m not a fan of the brushed oyster bracelet. Should I switch it to a green oyster flex?

Why not, looks ok to me..
Looks a little on the big size however, for fitment between the lugs?

If it’s comfy and you like it, go for it. It’s a good look and the green flows together

As long as you like it. Personally I think green on green is much, as it makes the dial fade / lose its punch

Why ask for anyone else's opinion? Ours does not matter.

Agree would prefer to let the dial feature but up to you

Do what you like. I think the green on green robs from the dial in an unpleasant way. Whatever you do don't lose the bracelet.

I wouldn’t, too much green for me. If you like it…that’s what matters.

Try a Barton elite premium green or a Hirsch croc leather with the appropriate colour match. Should work ok.

The one you have feels just a little bit off. Not able to place my finger on it.

Maybe he knows that others have a better eye for such things.

No. The band and dial blend together to much for me. If you like it do it!

No, because you’ll eventually go back to your oyster bracelet.

I switch up my oysters occasionally with a Rubber B or Everest. Nothing wrong with that. It's what you like that counts.

Seems too green. Try to find a black rubber strap with a green stripe. I think that would be cooler.

Sometimes it's OK to intervene.

Please try it out and send us some pics. I've got a feeling it will look good although I suspect a dark brown leather strap would look better.

You bought a watch but dislike the bracelet? Seems like a bad purchase to me.

The OP is a phenomenal timepiece. I love mine but, in my opinion, the new models just don't seem to jive well on anything other than their bracelets.
