The new Sky Dweller on Oysterflex?
Does anybody know if the Oysterflex for the Sky Dweller is interchangeable to the leather versions ?
I know when the Daytona first got the Rubber treatment it wasn't possible to swop them over to the older watches. I have a feeling that Rolex have added the Oysterflex to these models due to lack of demand as I often see them in cases in ADs |

It will be very comfortable which is a big plus for the SkyD. It'll also be very expensive however and I think I'd rather get a full PM and figure a way to add a rubber bracelet. I love rubber straps but not as a forever deal. It's like the design group is thinking that they know the strap is desirable for the Subs, which they won't attach it to, and thinking "what can we sell more of by throwing the strap on?" It seems very manipulative, imho.

Not on fluted. What's next, a DD on OF? Looks like Rolex has successfully migrated away from leather with the exception of the Cellini line. Too bad.

Weird combination. No issue with the Oysterflex, I have one on a WG Daytona. Its a very comfortable watch to wear. On their sports models Ok but on a Sky Dweller? NO....

A pm Sky Dweller is a grail of mine, but not on an Oysterflex ! The Oysterflex should have been available on the new Submariner though !

It may be so they can continue to sell strap models in California and other areas currently or perceivably banning exotic leathers. That or it didn't catch on as a classic and they are testing the waters as a sport model.

The bracelet is the best for me but the OF is an option if you like it.
