No Oysterflex??????

Just wondering if anyone other than me was surprised about this. I know Rolex spent a lot developing this and to only offer it on 1 model (2 sizes)???? It's very comfortable and I was hoping to see it on something else I guess.

I'm with you on this, very suppressed by the lack of oyster flex.

Yeah--very disappointed we didn't get to see an expansion of the oysterflex. I was sure it was going to happen. Rolex typically moves pretty slow but I think this was highly anticipated. it's possibly due to production concerns--not enough capacity or a combination of low yields that are preventing larger scale production. Pure speculation. Could also be they didn't want to compete with sales from the new ceramic Daytona. Maybe next year...

I would say you have hit the nail on the head here. Fingers crossed for next year.
