Icon5 Which Oysterflex would you choose?
I'm currently in the process of selling my YG Sub 126618LB so I can replace it with something on an Oysterflex bracelet. I also have a RG DD40 228235. The DD40 is my go to for a full PM watch so I don't really wear the YG Sub the way I thought I would however I still want a "sportier" option so I'm looking into what Oysterflex models are out there in RG or YG (personally not a fan of WG) that would be a good option. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

In this instance I’d choose the YM40. The dive watch is the quintessential sports watch. YG oysterflex

I spend the YM especially on RG it looks lovely .. but I like the WG version more, I know you don’t want that but I think it’s a really nice looking watch ..

Lambo the Jambo your Daytona looks amazing. That’s a great option.
But I love the idea of the yellow gold 42 yacht master in your case. I would love to get one but my problem is I also have a yellow gold sub and feel it’s too similar.

Thank you. The YG 42 YM is a great option. I tried that one at the AD and thought it was great.

Although I’m partial to WG, the Daytona on Oysterflex is a show stopper. I love this watch combo. Good luck and you will pick the one that sings to you.

Whichever watch you choose, make sure it comes with the glidelock clasp. I bought an older Daytona on Oysterflex as I preferred the discontinued dial to any of the new ones (black dial with rose gold sub dials) but could never get the correct fit no matter how it was adjusted or what combination of bracelet size is used. I returned it to my local grey dealer and traded it in for a Patek Philippe 5212a and never looked back.

Any of the Oysterflex Daytonas - all amazing. Rose gold maybe the best.

Call me crazy but I’m really drawn to the YM 42 in yellow gold.

The Oysterflex bracelet is a great choice for a sporty yet luxury look, Have you checked out the Daytona models in RG and YG with the Oysterflex bracelet? They could be a stylish option for you.

The RG YM would make a lovely pair with the DD, IMO.

YM is the only watch I’d ever get on OF, the matte black bezel pairs best imo. RG or YG both look great, I prefer RG by a little.
