Hello, watch lovers this is Angel again here at SwissWatchExpo and today we're
taking a look at my three top picks for Oysterfex bracelets. stick around.
Welcome back to SwissWatchExpo everyone and this week we're going to be taking a look at my top
three picks for Oysterflex bracelets on Rolex models so first thing you think of when you see
a bracelet like this on a watch that it's just a simple rubber strap but the Oysterflex bracelet is
in fact engineered to the same level that the time pieces are within the Rolex collection today we're
going to be taking a look at my three favorites the Yacht-Master here and the two Rolex Daytona
options here so let's get right into it with the rose gold Rolex Daytona so the reason I chose this
one in particular is I absolutely love the dial on this it's going to have the baguettes around
the dial that's the first thing that jumps out to you the step cut diamonds and so with a company
like Rolex they are using the top quality diamonds they're going to be at least a VVS quality so that
they do stand out beautifully one of the biggest differences when you do a step cut like this on
the diamonds is that they don't have as many facets so that allows any kind of imperfections
or inclusions or anything that are the diamonds to show an almost mirror and multiply to the viewer's
eye so you have to have a really clean diamond for it to have sparkle and as you can see the
baguettes here are done in a beautiful way they've even tapered down the ones that are at the six and
the nine as well as the three so they've given that beautiful cut to all of them of course you
will have the screw-down pushers which are very easy to deploy here and that is just as simple
as unscrewing the crown or the pusher at the top and at the bottom top will deploy it stop it and
then use the bottom to reset it we have the sweep running right now so that you can kind of see how
beautiful it looks in motion and to jump back into to the reason why I love the Oysterflex bracelets
the first thing that stands out and I'm not sure if that's showing on camera is the kind of a step
underneath the bracelet here which allows it to fit very nicely on your wrist it gives some space
for sweat and and moisture to kind of not stick to your body and of course we're going into the
season of spring and summer so we want something that can accommodate our lifestyles whether we're
traveling or whether we're in the pool with the kids things of that nature so of course even with
these being pushers if you keep those crown or the crown and the push and screw down it is waterproof
up to 100 meters so of course that is one of the main reasons why I love the Oysterflex bracelet
and I'll share another reason with you on the next watch next up. it's the white gold Rolex
Daytona I love the contrast of this we've seen a big jump in the panda dials and people really
showing a lot of interest in and I think this is kind of a way to kind of step away from it but
give you something that's still going to be very classic it's going to have almost a slate color
on the dial and then the black sub dials here as well and then of course the cerachrom bezel and
then another little tidbit that a lot of people are aware of is that not only are the numbers cut
out into the Cerachrom so that you know that gives you the ability to be sure that nothing's going
to fade over time like some of the aluminum insert bezels in the past but they've actually inserted a
thin layer of platinum into all of the numbers as well which gives it that much more durability and
those numbers are going to stay nice and crisp throughout the long lifetime of this watch the
Cerachrom of course is going to be the best option for durability it is virtually indestructible
and then of course platinum is going to be one of the hardest metals that actually exists of course
you'll have the pushers here as well and then kind of jumping back into the Oysterflex bracelet again
the biggest thing that I think is important to notate is that there's actually a thin metal blade
inside of the rubber here it has some components of titanium so it's going to be very lightweight
very balanced weight when you have it next to this flip lock clasp so that in itself gives you a long
durability on the bracelet on the strap I should say so you're not replacing it as often as you
would a typical rubber strap a gorgeous watch I think this could even be put on with the tux so if
you're you know a James Bond action movie type of person you love a lot of driving but you may have
to be in a formal situation this okay carry you from your Ferrari into the event beautiful watch
and then last and certainly not least I'm sure everyone's eye has been kind of floating towards
this watch in particular the Yacht-Master in rose gold with the Pysterflex bracelet now I've always
been a fan of the Yacht-Master with or without diamonds I prefer the Yacht-Master over the
Yacht-Master II let me know down in the comments what you think what's your preference for the two
models but the Yacht-Master I think it just does such an elegant job of being a sport model watch
now of course we definitely have to point out that the diamonds are Rolex diamonds fully paved no
aftermarket here at SwissWatchExpo and this is a very very rare watch it's in 40 millimeters you'll
have a 2236 movement over in the Daytona you're in a 4130 movement which is pretty standard for the
Daytonas but super accurate running within plus two minus two seconds of losing and gaining time
so it's very very particular but jumping back into this Yacht-Master you have the Cerachrom bezel but
then they've done the numbers in a raised manner so you can feel the texture of those numbers and
the rest of the bezel is kind of recessed so it's absolutely gorgeous the way they've done this of
course you'll have the bi-directional bezel on it and then the Mercedes hour marker here
as well this is a stunning watch it's not easy to translate this onto photos so I thought it
was important for for us to take it out and give it a little movement of course on the Oysterflex
bracelet and to show you kind of that flip lock clasp it's also done in the rose gold it's a
simple flip and you pull it back and it also has the adjustments on the inside so that you can make
micro-adjustments throughout the year you know and warmer and cooler climates to fit your wrist
appropriately I love that on a watch like this because typically with other brands when they
are placing the rubber strap on a watch you have to cut it in order to adjust the size not with
Rolex you can actually adjust it inside of a class they think of everything when they're working on
their watches so while we may see some weight in between releases of models and availability
there's always a science behind it but one thing you can count on is that SwissWatchExpo we will
always have the watch you need here over 3,000 timepieces in our showroom we are appointment only
but we'd be happy to get you scheduled and also we can hop on a FaceTime with you and show you
