Best Oysterflex Model
Looking to add an oysterflex piece for daily wear. What do you think the best oysterflex model is?

Most definitely the meteorite Daytona in any metal.


At least they are the nicest of them so why not wear the nicest one if one can.

I like the Yachtmasters. The RG 40 mm or the 42 mm YG or WG models.

I am biased, but the 116515 is my favorite model Rolex makes.

OF Daytona, and I’d say WG silver dial with black subdials.

Considering daily wear, you get the chance to be a bit more under the radar in the moments you aren’t wanting to be flashy. Of course, anyone who’s a fan of watches will know and appreciate.

Putting the obvious answer of meteorite versions aside, my favorite is the 116519 steel dial. What some call the Ghost.

I’ve owned one for 3+ years and it’s amazing. I appreciate it more each year.

Second this - meteorite is a no-brainer, but if I were to go OF Daytona it's hands down 116519, pun intended.

116519 that I owned and honestly miss from time to time
YM 40 in Rose gold that I currently own and it's somehow so special in its simplicity

YM42 is the perfect Oysterflex IMO.

The YM40. I hate the OF with endlinks on Daytonas, sorry.
