Oysterflex Sizing
I’m looking to pick up a 226659 on OF. What do I need to be aware of with respect to the size of the strap? I have a 7.5” wrist. I know there are different sizes so if I go gray or used I want to make sure I get it right.

Don’t go F/F. The clasp will not be centred to your wrist.

If you really want to make sure you get it right, have your AD measure your wrist with the OF sizing tool. Then have him order the appropriate straps.
Good luck, |

If the AD sales rep changes sizes, expect for them to damage the crap out of the lugs.
Best to have an EXPERIENCED jeweler do that task, or do it yourself if you have the knowledge and ability. Why couldn't Rolex have put notches in the OF for access to the spring bars. Dumb design. Another example of engineers not testing what they design.
