Best suggestion ever.
After wanting it for a long time, I finally managed to acquire my dream watch, the 116518 (Pikachu dial). Unfortunately, wearing it turned into a nightmare. I kept getting the same marks shown in the picture, and it was genuinely uncomfortable—sometimes even painful.
I tried every possible size combination and micro-adjustment, but those fins kept digging in. I didn’t want to switch to a leather strap because the Oysterflex suits this dial perfectly. I was close to selling the watch and giving up on it altogether until I took the risk of cutting the fins—and it worked.
Now the watch is genuinely comfortable to wear and actually fits better and more snugly. Also, whenever I need to service it, I can simply refit two spare straps (from all the sizing trials) that still have the fins, so Rolex can’t raise any issues. I just wanted to share this in case it helps someone else in the same situation.
Serious comfort issues with the Oysterflex rubber strap.
Yes,I was also already thinking about Everest as a substitute for next summer.
Best suggestion ever.
