I've just picked up a pre owned Cartier Tank Solo for Mrs Cano. The watch has come on the original alligator leather strap but I'd like to get the stainless steel bracelet for it too as I know that's her preferred option.

Apart from the boutiques, none of which are that close to me, does anyone know where I can source the 16mm bracelet? I'm in Woking FWIW.

On a side note, I want to give the original strap a good clean. What's the best product and process to clean and condition that original leather strap?

Thanks

Cano

No idea on the bracelet but saddle soap is what I use on my straps . Just dampen a cloth and rub it on the bar and then on the strap .

Thanks, saddle soap ordered and arriving tomorrow.

I've had one quote of £895 for the bracelet (supplied and fitted) which is not far off the value of the watch as-is so I may have to give up on that idea quite quickly. Let's hope that I can find one of the used market at some point.

Obviously not genuine Cartier, but an awful lot cheaper
