New Summer And Vacation Watch: Oysterflex Daytona

[watchguy1234]

Hi friends! I just received this beauty today. It's a Rolex Daytona on Oysterflex that was introduced a few years ago. This is my only watch on a rubber strap, which is great for the summer and trips to the beach/pool, etc. I have the previous generation Daytona (116520) in steel on the bracelet, so I can always slap that on for a more polished look. I find the dial on this watch to be one of the most interesting and dynamic dials on any watch I've seen. Perhaps only second to the F.P. Journe Chronometre Bleu dial. It has a sunburst/metallic stainless steel-looking dial that goes from light silver to dark graphite depending on the light. I also find the contrasting sundials that match the ceramic bezel to be a bolder look than the typical Daytona that only has contrasting sundial-rings.

The OysterFlex is extraordinarily comfortable but is notorious for being difficult to install correctly due to the tight tolerances. Many folks have reported having their lugs scratched or chipped because of this. My AD did a great job installing the right sized straps with no issues, and I'm happy I can finally enjoy the watch. I hope you all enjoy the write-up and photo!

Is that the WG? Looks really nice in that light, almost looks like a blend of the WG with the RG chocolate dial

Awesome watch

Beautiful Daytona! Once you nail down the Oysterflex sizing it is so comfortable. Glad to hear your AD sorted your sizing without a hitch. That’s the only downfall about Oysterflex not having those spring bar cutouts on the backside when removing/installing.

Yes, it’s the white gold with steel dial.

Oh my goodness, congratulation, it’s such a stunning watch. Wear it in good health. Looks wonderful on you.

Can’t wait to get mine (already ordered). I think I’ll prob like that one even more than my 116500 white, which I adore.

Im confused??? Does it not come from Rolex pre-installed???

Why would the AD install the rubber strap?

This is one of the best Daytona's you can buy.

The AD has to size it to the owner’s wrist if the standard bracelet is too small or large.

This is what we call amazingly stunning. Congratulations
