There is a Used 116655 in the Classified's here($19,995!), and I was just wondering how one get's Sized if the Bracelet is already cut for a specific sized wrist?

I didn't post a link but you can find it easily...

the band can be adjusted in the clasp. however, if that does not suffice a new band has to be ordered from an AD. Since the band has a metal core it can not be cut.

I thought there was and pieces that could be cut, the metal core doesn't run the full length of the strap, although I'm not 100% on this.

I really like the stealth factor of that watch. If it was in my pay grade I'd get one in a heart beat

From what I understand, there are several strap sizes to choose from at purchase and it can not be cut. If you are buying second hand and it does not fit, you must purchase a new one.... which is why I am staying away from this watch unfortunately.

That's definitely something to consider, but not a deal breaker for me. Thanks for the info!

The strap comes in small, medium and large and sizes can be mixed at the 12 and 6 o'clock side if necessary.
Congrats to all the happy owners!

I love this watch. My favorite "new" reference since the 216570 white dial.

No on the RG YM the rubber band cannot be cut the only adjustment you have is the three locations in the clasp!

However when purchasing the watch Rolex offer 6 different strap lengths which using this measure the AD can get the right combination

Thanks for that! I have a 7" wrist, so I guess I would be an E...maybe an F?
Although, I can't really see...lol

Mine landed, it's fantastic. Low key with just enough pop, love the stealth / matte black dial. I would not go as far as saying it's as comfy as a PP 5167 but for sure the most comfy Rolex I've had.

I am actually surprised it comes in a ladies version, it's not a feminine looking watch at all. Just my opinion.

The YM is no longer in my collection, an amazing watch but in my opinion it was too much money for a watch on a rubber strap. aaaaaany way, here are some pics.

Nice pics!

I think the rubber 'bracelet' is nice, felt very comfortable when I tried it (albeit very briefly).

I became immune to high prices with rubber straps after handling some RM's (friends' and what have you)...
