    Oysterflex cost?

    Does anybody know how much the Oysterflex strap costs for a Rolex? Just the band, no clasp. No jeweller can seem to estimate and Rolex aren’t open until Monday.

    Thanks

    Is this to replace a existing one??

    I heard they are rock hard to get if you are wanting one otherwise

    Tried getting one for my BLNR. My local AD said he would not be able to order one for me unless it was to replace an existing.

    I ended up getting the Rubber B, cant be happier

    £220ish per side (they're not sold as a complete straps as far as i know), originally the serial number was required by Rolex when the oysterflex was launched, but they CAN now be bought without being a replacement

    That's what i paid/experienced when I bought a shorter section for my 116655 last year.

    Nonsensical, an AD should have all strap sizes in stock, how else could they sell new 116655s and size it for a big/slim wristed customer...?

    I saw a guy on rolexforums put one on his white dial Daytona and it looked really good so I made enquiries as I wanted to do it to mine. Apparently Rolex want to know a lot of details of the watch it’s for etc and it’s hard to do.

    I was advised rubber B also. I only mentioned it casually so who knows may be viable.

    Thanks for the help. As soon as I saw the first reply, I opted for a rubber b instead. It’s my first experience of such a strap but the quality is excellent. It’s comfortable, looks oem and is a lot cheaper than the oysterflex.

    Maybe I’ll go for oysterflex down the line but this is a great option for now and probably for my ownership of the watch.

    Have these rubber stamps come down or become more readily available?

    Personally think that both Rubber B and Everest are far superior to the Rolex Oysterflex anyway.......so save the £££ and go with non OEM
