Oysterflex on 16710 Pepsi GMT - In Case you were wondering

Had an exciting day with my AP 15400 returning from APSC with a new crystal and full service.

Not sure exactly what that has to do with me playing around with the oyster flex lol! But I think having the Royal Oak back got me on a bracelet kick.

Since I wear my SS Daytona most often I decided to take the jubilee off the 16710 put it on the Daytona, which left me with a lonely Oysterflex Strap. So for now it will live on the GMT. I was quite surprised at how much I like the look and feel of this combo!

Enjoy!

Did you use the same Daytona endlinks on the Pepsi?

Looks great IMHO! =)

I put my LV on the OF but felt the gap was a bit much. But if you confirm the endlinks fit, I'll start using the OF more (as I have the endlinks and two sets of OF straps just sitting collecting dust for now).

haha I literally did the same thing with my LVC and didn't care much for the gaps.

Yes, the end links are the same ones I use for my Daytona. The end links I have are polished in the center which works brilliantly with the daytona, they work pretty well with the 16710 but IMO don't look right with the LVC.

I got mine from smartyjones18, I'm sure he makes them for the SubC also. Gotta use those OF straps!! They're incredible.

Very cool modernisation! The black insert will really make it I think. Or the coke. Has to have some black there imo but very nice indeed.

I tend to agree. Unfortunately I only have 1 insert

Thanks for the info!! I will definitely use them now on the Kermit. (until my Daytona-C shows up... Whenever that will be)

Jubi on Daytona? Huh, not for me......please put the Oysterflex on it, that looks wonderful.
In my opinion the rubber band looks very good on nearly every SS Rolex.

In all honesty the Oyster looks a lot better on the GMT. Like how you experiment though. Very cool.
