Replacement bracelets

[SimonMaidenhead]

Anyone have a source for replacement stainless steel bracelets for Rolex sub, GMT, daytona, SD etc and what prices they go for.


Many thanks as always

If nobody is refurbishing them with these prices I keep hearing, there's a nice little gap in the market there for someone.

Yes I confirm it is a joke Ive just paid £340 for an Omega Planet Ocean bracelet it was the cheapest I could find it anywhere got some quotes of £600! The retailer cocked up and told me how much it was costing them from Omega, £255, so retailer mark up is £85 in this case

Phoned my local AD and was quoted £1956 for a stainless daytona bracelet and £893 for the same for a sub. Nearly 2K for a bit of stainless steel, someone's seriously having a laugh aren't they.

I was quoted £200 for a Raymond Weil Freelancer SS Bracelet. That was direct from themselves though, I wonder what the price would be from an AD.

Simon what is wrong with the bracelets you have?

Nothing at all on the watches I have, but have found some for sale without bracelets, so wanted to gauge if these were a bargain or not once I'd added on the cost of getting them wearable once more.

Indeed, i went , registered and left some commission bids.... no success.!

[SimonMaidenhead]

Registered and bid online in the end, again no success, think whoever went got caught up in auction fever. Some of the sale prices were just plain stupid. All of the daytonas sold for between 4 and 4.5K add 22% commission on top of that and then a bracelet and you've just bought a 4 year old watch with a new bracelet with no box or paperwork for over list price. Total madness!!!
