I need to figure out how to get my hands on an Oysterflex, it looks so damn good on the Explorer. My AD who has been great is not budging on his position that I have to have a watch that came on a Oysterflex for them to order me one.

Excuse the double post. Made an edit that gave the photo a new URL, and it's been over an hour(?), so I can't edit and update my post on the previous page. So I'll just post the picture again here.

Two weeks on the wrist. I've never felt less of a need to change watch before. This could be "the one".

I love the versatility of the Everest and it’s “cheap” enough to be an only-once-in-a-while type option. I’m wearing mine in the bracelet today but I suspect it’ll be on the rubber a ton once pool season hits.

Bought, sold, bought

Bought one early in the year, sold it, had sellers remorse, bought another one. Do love the dial and weight. Came on a Zulu, changed it for the unworn bracelet.
Will try to post both pictures.

That is the whole Idea, there is not much to hate on... just a pure watch that tells time. And that is why it is loved by many.

Do those end links come with the OF? If not, where did you get them?

How does one go about getting an OF? Just cold call ADs until you find one that will actually sell you one? Or just keep an eye on forum classifieds and hope?

I’m totally blown away by this watch. I always thought it looked silly, and that I’d never like the 3 6 9. I was really wrong. I have and have had, some of the “hot” models and this one really stands out as something special. Love the simplicity.

Thank you! End links are from our own smartyjones right here on TRF.
As for getting an OF I described my experience here: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=603764
