Hello guys, I have a question for you :

I recently bought a 116515LN and was surprised to notice that my Oysterflex bracelet segments are not E-F and E-D, like the 519LN I owned before, but simply F and D.

The watch is from april 2019.

Has any of you got the same reference on his Daytona with OF ?

Are you saying that they are just marking them differently?

E-E and E-F are the standard Daytona sizes, but maybe they just changed it to the second letter only since they all start with E anyways.

I noticed that as well on another members OF strap; only stated one letter (had to save a picture just in case).

Thank you stylinleems, that’s exactly like mine.

It’s surprising considering that mine is an italian one, that I had a swiss one with the E-‘s on and a friend of mine has a french one with the E- on too…

Interesting, didn't pay much attention to the change until now and just decided to take a look.

A "E-F" segment I got from RSC in a swap last November only has the letter F printed on the inside.

My 116519LN with E-E and E-D sizes, also only has "E" and "D" by itself. The E was delivered with the watch in January 2019, while the D was a RSC swap.

Yes of course they are the size rating. They used to be labeled E-E (which pretty much most people had on one side), and then E-F or E-G or whatever your required size was. Now it seems like they've gotten rid of the first E since pretty much every size starts with E, and have started going with just the second letter.

I have a couple of sets and I always wondered why they had the first E, so maybe this explains that.

“Yes of Course”sounded in the post like you didn’t know what it mean. But Of Course you knew.

The single letter strap indicates a newer production Oysterflex. I always thought it was pointless for all the OF segments to have an "E" at the front.
