Hey all,

I know Ive read about this deep inside a few other threads but seems I just cant find it right now (when I actually need it). I got my noob 116519, and I love it. I tlooks and feels great!
There is one issue though, after putting on both EE oysteflex bracelets that came with the watch from my TD, the watch is still too big on me!

For those who have had this same issue, what have you done

Are there smaller bracelets that are compatible

Had the same issue. You need an EF or ED band. They are hard to find. And to make matters worse, each maker has different lengths for their "EE" band. It's a mess.

I really wanted one of these but I saw that I was going to run into the same issue as well with my 6.25 inch wrists. Hope you find a solution!

The 116519 is great also on leather. Its imho the best Rolex actually gen or rep.

Bought an oyster flex on Etsy, hopefully it fits and looks nice

Can you post a link to the one you bought? Was it sized the standard way, EE, EF, etc? Thanks!

looks like it has one side that is sized normally and one that can be cut to your needs. Not my ideal choice but had the 116519 for a while just sitting around now and want to start using it lol.

I will let you guys know how it is when it comes and how it compares to noobs rubber.

I have one spare JF oysterflex like that with one side to cut. Never worn as i prefer the leather. It comes originally with the Gold Yachtmaster.

To compare with the Noob, the Oysterflex font is smaller on the side, and quality seams not too far.

Are you sure the strap will fit the Noob clasp? Also yes, please let us know how this strap in particular works out and if the quality is good!

Obvious differences
- color is lighter
- fonts and logo are bigger
- less curved

Thanks a lot for the update!

Seems grey in comparison. Maybe on its own it wouldn't look so grey.

Differences aside, is the quality up to par? Does it fit your clasp? Are you overall happy with it?

I also wonder if you could've gotten a secondary E-F from your TD?

Quality isn’t as good as the original noob but it gets the job done so I guess I’m pretty happy with it.

I spoke to Jtime because he got me the watch and he said that there are no smaller bands available, I didn’t do much asking around after that.

So to be clear, it is not possible to order a XS strap when ordering from the TD's? Is this both for NOOB and ARF? And what size do you guys think is the smallest size? I have a 6.3' wrist and would love the noob version daytona.
