The 116519 on the other hand, I can feel the weight of the case and the weight of the clasp, it just feels so much more substantial.
The missing weight of the bracelet just cannot be made up by the weight of SS.
So my view on Rolex not selling SS on Oyster Flex is they done the right thing.

Weight does not always mean its more substantial IMHO the main reason for oyster flex on precious watches is for one reason only. Thats to make it a cheaper option over a all precious metal/bracelet watch.Yes they are great watches but speaking for myself much prefer SS watches.
