Oysterflex Questions

For those of you who have done an OF swap, would anyone mind sharing a source?

I'm moving down to a 1ish watch collection (I have a Timex Q Reissue, but that's a backup more than anything), and I'd like some options for how I can wear my Explorer. Right now I have it on a 97200 bracelet for the glidelock, but I'd love to be able to throw it on the Oysterflex for the summer as well.

Any help would be much appreciated!

What are you looking for? A source to buy an oysterflex strap?

Your AD is not supposed to order one for you unless you own a watch that came with one. I doubt anybody would give you their AD source since they probably told them not to tell anyone lol.

Have you tried to ask the AD you bought your explorer from?

Fair point, but worth a shot, no?

Unfortunately I bought my Explorer from a trusted seller here, so no go on asking an AD. I may poke around and see what a few local ones can do anyhow.

From my research, I need an EF/EG combo.

The only thing I can suggest would be to try the classified section here. They do show up every so often. Good luck

There are very similar design straps on etsy, even with the internal wings etc. Of course they’re not going to say Rolex inside.

I have seen those, but it's just my personal preference to have the Rolex version. Otherwise I'd try the one from Everest. I just happen to like the look with the endlinks
