The Oyster Flex is comfortable, and it lightens up the watch.

I like it. A sporty version and less “in your face” yet still yellow gold.

They look nice, but except for the Cellini, I just want my Rolex watches on bracelets. All a preference thing though.

The only flex in the oysterflex is the amount of money wasted compared to a PM bracket.

So, for me, there isn’t one answer. It depends on the watch. Either way, both designs are first class.
Fair point. I live in a constant hot and humid city in Asia. So comfort will be dependent on climate conditions.

Thoughts on the new released sky-dweller on oysterflex? I was surprised to see it personally. Leather to me would of made much more sense for the styling of that watch. Love the look of the other models with, but the sky-dweller not so much for me.

I wish I liked yellow gold cause that watch is sexy. That's the watch (champagne dial) that got me interested in other Rolex models.

I have reservations about the Oysterflex in general.

I had bypassed the Oysterflex for several years until I decided to give it a try on my favorite Daytona YG watch. I like it now. Comfortable and help tone down the PM watch. A great alternative to the bracelet. All my other watches are on bracelet.

Another point: it is not simply about the 6-8k difference between the PM Daytona on OF and the one on full PM bracelet. Besides the ceramic bezel, the Daytona on OF also has a bolder case with balanced lugs which many people prefer.

The OF is crazy comfy, but these are luxury purchases.

Full gold to OF price difference is around 10k. Is that what you're looking for?

I live in a hot country and so the leather straps are not good in the heat. The new SD in OF is perfect for me. Mine's on order and should be with me soon.........
