Will Oysterflex fit RG Daytona?

I currently have an RG Daytona I picked up few years ago with a RG gold band and am considering switching to an oysterflex to wear it daily wear. Can anyone advise if the Rolex oysterflex band is compatible with this model? Alternatively, would I need to look into aftermarket options such as Everest or RubberB?

Thanks in advance.

That’s what I thought. Can anyone recommend me in between Everest or RubberB? What’s better quality and fits better?

Maybe there is some other brand that’s even better than those both?

I have no experience with Everest. However, I do love my RubberB strap.

Rubber B does not fit full RG / WG / Platinum Daytonas
the straps are designed for the steel , full YG, TT and the oysterflex RG/WG/YG

How do I know? on the website they never mention full RG / WG / Platinum Daytonas , so I asked them and they said they don't do it for those models
Why? No clue

Won’t an Oysterflex fix any model with the matching lug width? I’m wearing an OP41 on a 21mm Oysterflex at the moment.

Oysterflex will fit. You may wish to buy end links that match your watch if you want to re-create the comes-with-OF look.

Came here to say this. Of course 20mm Oysterflex halves will fit on your bracelet RG Daytona, but you won’t have the endlinks that “finish” the look on Daytona models that come on OF.
I have OF for my SS Daytona but with aftermarket Smarty endlinks. I don’t think he offers them in gold but you might look up the site and inquire.

Of course an OysterFlex will fit. But you will have a gap without the endlinks.

Some terrible information here, oysterflex will definitely fit. Fit is simply determined by lug width.

Now if you want the gap filler that is a different story. Also as to whether you can buy an oysterflex strap without owning an OF model...

I have both a 116509 and 126519. I prefer the OF for daily wear for three reasons.

1. weight
2. it is way less blingy
3. I hate scraping my gold bracelet against the desk.

OF will fit!! You can either get end links to match in RG, or just wear it with a gap in lugs.
