Rolex has used the new Oysterflex strap on the Yacht-Master series since 2015. Rolex’s first rubber strap was later equipped on the Daytona. Compared with steel straps, Oysterflex straps made of rubber are lighter; compared with leather straps, they are waterproof and have a longer service life.
However, friends who use rubber watch straps will encounter such a situation. If the rubber material is too hard, it will not be comfortable. But if the rubber material is too soft, the entire strap will collapse. Who makes the best replica watches.
To solve this problem, the Oysterflex strap is equipped with Rolex’s patented longitudinal buffering system (the green part in the picture above). The main body of the strap is still made of hard rubber, but the part that contacts the human wrist is fragile and can automatically fit according to the curvature of the wearer’s wrist. It is more comfortable, and the strap will slide slowly during exercise.
For firmness, the black rubber is also wrapped with a metal sheet made of “titanium-nickel alloy,” which makes the watch not susceptible to various environmental conditions.
Because there is a metal support frame inside, the Oysterflex strap cannot be cut. The Oyster buckle has 5 mm of telescopic adjustment space for easy wearing. However, more than 5 mm is entirely required for people with different wrist sizes.
Therefore, Rolex Oysterflex straps are divided into six specifications of different lengths: “C, D, E, F, G, H,” which can be used together. The inside of the strap is marked with a specific size code.
The sizes you buy in the store are all standard. If you need to replace it, ask an authorized dealer to send it to a Rolex service center or go to it yourself. This replacement service is free, but it must be ensured that the rubber strap has not been used and cannot be too long since purchase.
Rolex has also made an official data sheet, which recommends corresponding Oysterflex strap models based on the specific wrist circumference of the wearer. For example, for the Rolex Daytona, when the wearer’s wrist circumference is 159-170 mm, it is recommended to choose the two sizes D-F; for the Rolex Yacht Series, when the wrist circumference is 193-204 mm, it is more appropriate to choose the two sizes F-H.

It is worth noting that the order of D-F cannot be changed. D is installed at the six o’clock position of the watch case, and F is installed at the noon position. If you choose F-D, you can still wear it, but the position of the folding clasp will not be in the center of the inside of your wrist, making it uncomfortable to wear.
