Hi All,

Anyone know where I can get a bracelet for the above for less than the £700 suggested by Watches of Switzerland? I originally bought it on a strap, which broke after 9 months and the second one's just split irked Instead of splashing out £140 a time for a strap I'd rather just buy the bracelet. I've tried eBay but nothing so far.

Thanks in advance,

Animal

£700 ?!?

I'm thinking of selling mine, and it seems the going rate for the watch second hand with strap is circa £1500-£1800

I've made the mistake of selling my watches in the past so I want to keep this one, hence the need for the bracelet.

£700's a bit 'steep' though!!

According to WoS the bracelets are rare because the design of the case lugs was changed meaning that some bracelets will fit my watch and some won't!

Bing,

Yep, that's the one. £750 is an unbelievable price, about a quarter of the RRP. I had a similar experience at Selfridges a few years ago when they had a SeaDweller for about £1,600 in a sale.
Didn't buy it, felt like a total mook ever since!
