Can anyone confirm the different stiffness of oysterflex sizes?

[mew]

I ordered a couple of CF Oysterflex bands in different sizes for my Daytona and noticed that the F size is super soft and very Gen linke (both the flex as well as the wings underneath the strap that hug your wrist).

But the smaller E and D sizes are very stuff, have stiff wings and are overall pretty uncomfortable compared to the F size.

Is this just a TD mistake not sending me the correct CF smaller ones?

Or can anyone else chime in here in terms of softness / similarity between the different sizes.

Would strongly appreciate it. Using these currently for a Daytona.

I've ordered E & F sizes of the same strap from Intime. I'm hoping they will arrive either later this week or early next. I'll report back when I receive them.

Also ordered the following end links from Ali Express, which arrived this morning. Quality is very impressive - much better than others I've seem. Mind you, I don't know whether they'll fit the watch yet (CF 116500 v3), as it's also yet to arrive!

I received my CF Oysterflex from InTime earlier - in size E & F. To be honest, I don't think there's any difference in stiffness between the two sizes. They are both nice and soft, and very comfortable. At the clasp end the 'F' gives the impression that it's slightly more flexible, but I think it's purely down to the extra length. The case end and inner 'wings' feel exactly the same.

I really like the Oysterflex band. So comfortable and, to me, it makes the watch wear / feel bigger.

Also very impressed withe AliExpress end links I mention in my earlier post (#3) above. Quality and fit are superb.

I can only echo that: my E and F (sourced via CTime) are both very comfy and equally soft/stiff...

Thanks.
Yea, it's weird. I received a mix from jtime and only the F one is really soft. Makes me a bit upset that perhaps I received some which are not from CF.

Did you have to use any adhesive tape on the end links?

Will it be flush and not rattle without any adhesive tape?

Fit is very impressive (I measured them at 19.99mm). Certainly no rattle or need for adhesive tape.

When you have the time, Can you post some pictures of the lugs without the strap and the endlinks in place?

Just want to see how much space there is for the belt with the end links in place.
