[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Why does Rolex only offer the Oysterflex bracelet with gold watches?

I don’t really expect that anyone here can answer this question but it seems so odd to me. Logic would dictate that the rubber Oysterflex would be a much more natural match with the stainless watches, but nope, only available with white and yellow gold.

Rolex is the HK of watch companies, they don’t care what you want, you will take it and you will like it! I own 4 Rolex’s so I am well aware of their asinine policy. Try sending one in for service with ANY change (band or whatever) and they will not do it.

It’s a flex.

But seriously.

That said some AD’s and CW21’s can get them if you have a relationship.

I went Rubber B and Everest, ended up selling both and stick with 97200 glidelock bracelet and natos.

That is not accurate.

I’ve sent two into the RSC on Natos and one had mods done to the case.

The really dumped on my wife’s sapphire and diamond bezel swap at the Dallas RSC. This was maybe 4 years ago? So I am glad they lightened up a little. That said they did a heck of a job on my ancient Sea Dweller referb.

What year is your sea dweller and what did they do to it?

The OysterFlex seems like such a perfect match to a stainless sport watch, especially something like the Submariner or Yachtmaster. If I’m paying the premium for a gold watch, I’d rather have the gold bracelet.

Is there an uncool way to flex a gold Daytona? ??
