Icon7 116515LN Ivory oysterflex

I just saw 116515ln in Ivory dial with oysterflex on rolex website.

My local AD has Ivory dial with leather strap at the moment.

Would it be wise for me to wait for the one with oysterflex or just get the
one with leather and get RubberB for versatility?
(I believe the clasps aren't interchangeable therefore I can't get genuine leather strap on new models anyway)

Also Could anyone actually tell me if oysterflex is superior in anyway when compared to RubbberB or everest? (comfort, design, resizing)

Thanks in advance!

i think everest or rubber b are good alternatives where no other Rolex option exists. I have an everest and like it a lot. Oysterflex is much better and is an original Rolex part which matters to me at least.

If my plan was to put that watch on rubber anyway I would wait and get it on oysterflex. RRP is the same as far as i know leather/oysterflex.

I do think rubber looks way better on a daytona than leather. Bracelet vs rubber that is debatable as i see both sides of that.
