Pics coming momentarily.


I realized that I actually need a shorter oysterflex strap. If anyone has a spare 60mm (shorter length) that they're willing to part with, please let me know. Im a bit surprised, even with clasp adjusted, it's a little looser than I'd like. My wrist is about 6.5/6.75in

As far as I can tell... the Datewheel font is fine. I compared it against my Noob 116710LN and theyre almost identical. if it is too fat, it isnt really noticeable IRL

Thank you

Straps length ? Both sides.

I always think that a Gen DW and Crystal do the difference

By the way, Great watch

I think the strap lengths coming from ARF are now 60mm and 75mm. Ironically, I waited for them to update to the longer strap length before ordering...and now it looks like I need 60mm on both sides lol!

A stunning watch sir. I wonder if the TD's will ever come out with a wrapped version?

Hi I have been eyeing this watch for a while. I already have 5 Genuine Rolex's and I am not allowed to buy anymore watches thus year :-(
I was about to order this from intime :

​​​​​​https://www.intime03.co/rollie/5011...-bezel-on-oysterflex-rubber-strap-sh3135.html

But the datewheel does not look the same as yours. Where did your watch from?


Unless I’ve misread the guys post this is the same watch however the AR factory that make this particular watch have updated the date wheel font.

Correct, with one minor detail. I ordered the A2824 movement, not the SH3135. I cant vouch for the SH3135 datewheel being updated, only what I received.

Guys, I have been reading in the chat group that the DW can be changed and the watch can be serviced to be a super replica. Where do you order the DW and crystal from? And where can you can get the watch serviced from? I am based in London. Any help would be appreciated. I love the Yachtmaster but it's not a watch I would wear everyday. It would just be a watch I would wear for fun and at holidays, hence I am going down the Replica Route.

Hey Guys,

maybee some of you can help me out.
I will order this watch now, but i‘m not sure about the size of the oysterflex. I read a lot about it here in the forum.

i have a wrist with 17cm. A small one;-) i like it when the watch fits tight on my wrist.

My question is: do i order the 60mm sized strap on both sides. Ore is it better to order it with 60mm and 75mm strap?

like there is no adjustment with this strap, i‘m frightend about that this watch will not fit...ore there is to much space when the straps are to long.

Thanks for your answers.

My wrist is approx 6.5" to 6.75" and I have the 60mm/75mm...for me, it is too loose, but I also like to wear my watches fairly tight on the wrist. I will try to source another 60mm strap to replace the 75mm...there is some adjustment in the clasp, but not enough for me to tighten to how I like (almost though).

Thanks for your comment;-)

I will buy by ryan. So is it not possible to order it from beginning with two 60mm straps?
