41mm Sub Oysterflex

Has anyone put an oysterflex on a 41mm SS Sub?
Pics please!

There are some threads of 40mm Subs on OF... But I am curious to see some pictures of the 41mm reference.

My understanding is that the 42 YM OF band will fit the Sub. If you have put OF on the 41, can you confirm if you used the 42YM band?

Thank you!!

Used to have one on my 40mm sub but not on my 41 sub date. Do have one on my Daytona and love it.

Good looking Daytona. Is that a oysterflex? Or rubber B?

You are correct the Oysterflex strap from the PM YM42 will fit the sub 41 as they are 21/17.

The part number for the Oysterflex straps is 218-107-xx (xx being your size D, E, F etc.) My AD ordered me a set but I have yet to place it on my sub 41.

What is holding you back?! I would LOVE to see a picture of that before I place an order :)

Haven't had a chance to swap it fully, but I just placed them on top and installed one side within the below posts:

I love the gap the oysterflex leaves where the end links normally would be. Makes it look more sporty. Reminds me of the YM… but less delicate.

Do you know the gap on the Sub is similar in size to the YM? Really hard to tell from pics

I believe it's the same gap or similar to the Oysterflex straps on the 116610LN.

I much prefer the Oysterflex... For several reasons...

- OEM Rolex Product
- Small gap in between case & bracelet... Just as a proper diver on rubber should be.
- Fins on bracelet
- Metal inside rubber

Oysterflex is simply superior to those products. Now.... I just need to source a set. WTB Oysterflex! :)
