Oysterflex bracelet question

Hi everyone,

I am looking at purchasing a Yachtmaster rosegold 37mm, the 268655 and had a question regarding the oysterflex bracelet. I enjoy a snug fit on all my watches, and many of my watches end up fitting me much better on a strap over a bracelet. However, I'm also aware the oysterflex is both a rubber/steel strap - for those of you that have experienced this bracelet, does it wear more similar to a steel bracelet, or a rubber strap? Is there any "give" or "stretch" in the strap?

Thanks!

I have two oysterflex Daytonas. Super comfortable. Although it is tough to understand what you are looking for, it does not wear like it is rubber. It wears like it is substantial and comfortable.

Agreed with above. Very comfortable but I have to tinker with mine to get it where I like it. I’m an E/F and the tightest micro-adjustment.

I have the 40mm version of the YM and it has a glidelock which makes so much sense with OF. Very comfortable and kinda hard to describe how it feels in comparison.
Hopefully they put glidelock on all OF offerings…

Can you tell me your wrist size? I have a F/F but I think I need an E/F. I'm a 7.25 wrist.
