Daytona on Oysterflex options?

Considering purchasing an Everose Gold Daytona on the Oysterflex. For those who own this model, what color dial do you prefer? Also my wrist size is a little smaller than 7 inches. What size oysterflex bands would I need to get? I know they have certain letters on them.

Would love to get the full PM bracelet, but I prefer the look of the ceramic bezel

Pics would be appreciated.

Are you getting new from AD? You have 2 dial options, sundust and black. I would go sundust, but the black is stunning

Also AD will get you set up with the right size so you are good to go.

If you are talking about going grey, you need to go to an AD or RSC to get the right size strap regardless. I would not trust ebay or anything like that

Looks like I might have to go grey market. My local dealer refuses to sell me anything over the last few years, even though I have previous buying history with them. That's why I'm trying to figure out what strap sizes I should try to get, based on what other members suggest who might have a similar wrist size to mine.

New Oysterflex Daytonas have the glide lock clasp which can be adjusted to make it tighter or looser, the previous models didn’t have that capability.

I just picked up my RG Daytona a couple of weeks ago from my AD. I just love it!!!

If you are going to go grey I doubt they will be able to size you or get the necessary sizes you are going to need. You will most likely have to go to another AD for that since it seems your current AD may not help you. I would ask them what the price would be to change out the OF to a size that fits you on a used watch you are thinking of purchasing. FWIIW, I have a 7.5 inch wrist and the factory OF configuration that comes with the watch (E,F) fits me fine, meaning it will most likely be too big for you.

You're probably looking at a D-F combo, or maybe E-F. I say probably b/c there's no way to know unless you measure your wrist...

Which, luckily, you can do by dropping in on your AD and having them use their little magical measuring tool to do so.

This will most likely be your best bet, as when you get the watch, it will most likely not fit (unless you get lucky) and the AD would be a good resource in sourcing the correct size straps. Good luck,
