My AD said no unless I owned a watch that comes with one. I brought 4 watches this year from them too.

They’re sold individually at $270 per side, ask your AD to order

It cost $400 cdn per side for me to order from an AD up here in Canada. (original price was $330 cdn but Rolex thought the price was too low)

I am waiting for my Daytona to arrive ... to decide which ones fit properly then I will sell the ones I do not required.

I have a pair I could sell. I paid $270 for each side ($540 total) and can give a copy of receipt from AD. If interested let me know. It’s 2 size EE bands

That's a great price. I would love to get one for my sub, does anyone know if the YM ones will fit?

I'm sure most AD's can't even get them unless you have the watch it was made for and trading in the old part. Rolex is getting tighter and tighter, this summer they wouldn't even sell me a jubilee bracelet even when I had the watch it came with unless I traded in my oyster bracelet (which they give you peanuts for).

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like it’s a long shot to get a pair.

Rolex is bad about selling parts and the AD’s don’t want to get in trouble.

Sourcing them may be possible but the are not adjustable so you have to order the right size for each side

The OF straps on the YM are exactly the same, EXCEPT! The sizing for the YM is different than the sizing for a Daytona.

The lug holes on the YM are much higher up/closer to the case that the daytona (or any rolex pro for that matter). Meaning the same size straps that fit perfectly on a Daytona, would most likely be snug on the YM. So you might need slightly shorter straps for a Daytona, if for example you use a YM size chart to select your strap size.
