THC Bracelet on Black Bay?
Hi Guys,
What do you think? Is the lug width on the BB 22mm? Would a steel bracelet from a THC fit on a Black Bay, 42mm vs 41mm. I have a THC with the steel bracelet so buying the BB on leather with the deployant would make sense to me. If not, then it would be the BB on steel. Thanks |

Donald,
Don't know for sure but might have a clue. George sent me some end links he made for the BB to see if they would fit my THC. They fit perfectly. So that would make me conclude that the THC bracelet could be interchangeable w/ the BB. Hope this helps and good luck! dP

Yes it will fit. When I bought my BB the salesman said he could swap the bracelet from the THC onto the bb if I didn't like the leather band.its the same exact bracelet. Only the pelagos has a different bracelet. Definitely buy the leather strap with deployment buckle. Then you will have both.

True both Black Bay and THC use the same bracelet 95740 in 22mm However Black Bay uses 32-681-0 end piece. THC uses 32-675-0 end pieces. Slight different profile to match the lugs. Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

Thanks for this, so are you saying it will fit or won't fit?
Different end pieces has me thinking it won't. |

Sorry, I don't have a definite, as I have not had the chance to try switching them. There is a chance they will interchange, they just won't match the case profile. The width is no question they are both 22mm, the problem could be the spring bar holes not lining up with the holes in the case. Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk

I picked up a Heritage Blue today, I was going to wait until the weekend to try the swap but decided to give it a try tonight. No issue with fit, the center of the link might stick up a bit high compared to the case, but I didn't take comparison shots prior on the chrono so it could just be me...
Apologies for the poor pics, I don't have the greatest lighting for watch shots in the evening. A Chrono I previously had - this was the most similar angle that I could find: |
