Question for OF Daytona owners
Would a size E at 12 o’clock and an E at 6 o’clock be the same bracelet size(or circumference)as F 12 o’clock and D 6 o’clock?
My AD didn’t have anything smaller than E so changed how it came F/E to E/E to get the correct circumference but feel it is not as balanced as it could be. Every watch I own the 6 o’clock side of bracelet is always shorter than 12 o’clock when sized. Any experience appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So by length it should be the same, but because one is 2 size bigger (D&F), the buckle will be slanting to one side.
If I remember correctly, OF strap one side has to be bigger by one than the other for it to resemble a normal bracelet watch. The fine adjustment is done via the glidelock or the three holes on the buckle. |

That is part of the issue I’m having now with the E/E. The clasp is too far towards the 12 o’clock side on my inner wrist. Id rather the clasp be centered or toward 6 o’clock. Mine is a 12 series so I have glidelock which is great to get the perfect fit. I’d just like to have the clasp in a different location Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I too thought my clasp was leaning a bit (in my case) towards 6 oclock, but RSC assured me this is the way it should be and the blade needs to sit properly and comfortably. |

Yes exactly. The blade is pretty much all the way towards 12 oclock. On all of my other Rolex the blade is centered and clasp is slightly toward 6 oclock Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you are running 4 links at 6 o’clock and 6 links at 12 o’clock on your metal bracelet Daytonas it seems that the bar will be better centered with a D and F. I’m picking one of the 12 series up tomorrow so hope it just fits without having to change straps.
Just curious, what’s your wrist size? |

Yes my SS Daytona is 4 and 6 links. I guess my OF being E/E is the equivalent to 5 and 5?
It comes with E at 6 and F at 12 o’clock. It barely fit but the glide lock was all the way in. I’m right at a 7” wrist Congrats on your pick up! Keep me posted on how it goes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I picked up the watch today from my AD. This watch was specifically ordered for me and when I saw the watch I knew those were the right straps (D/F). The AD stated that she can order the watch with the E/F or D/F strap already installed on the watch. I’ve bought all my watches from this dealer since 2004 so guess they knew my wrist size although I always do the sizing myself. I was surprised to find the correct straps on the watch as I thought they all came with E/F.
Well if they did change the straps before I showed up they sure did an expert job as I’m so near sighted I can see every imperfection including differences in polish and there is no evidence of any strap change damage. My wrist is 6.5 inches and the D/F gives me a perfectly centered clasp. Super happy they didnt have to mess around and change straps today. |

Awesome! Which model did you get? Glad they got you squared away. I’m thinking D/F will work better for me as well. I may be out toward the end of the glidelock but I suspect it will feel more balanced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You want d f for proper clasp placement.
I am a d f wearer. This is the same as the bracelet with one link out on each. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’ve had both, E & E and D & F setups on a non-glide lock Daytona. My wrist is 6.75 give or take throughout the day. Both work fit wise, but the E&E definitely makes the clasp off center. The D&F setup was much better for the clasp being centered.

Agreed, the 6 o'clock should be smaller, but if you put the micro adjustment on the biggest setting, it kinda is. |
