I’ve had mine for nearly three years and zero sign of wear and tear. Granted, I don’t daily it.

It can last for 10 years and it’s easy for replacement.

Hard to say. It’s in a rotation with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes I’ll wear the 519 for a week or two straight and then not wear it for a month or so. It’s definitely been worn and been my only watch on week-long vacations.

I feel like it’s holding up great and I can’t recall reading one thread on here from anyone saying their OF is getting ragged. I would not have any concerns about the longevity of an OF strap.

And really, even if you had to replace them every 10 years, they’re not that expensive.

Same experience here with my YM Everose. Wear it quite often, especially in summer and looks brand new. Honestly holds up better than my PCL bracelets as only the clasp gets scratched. As soon as they put a mini glidelock on the Daytona I will be adding one…
