Hello fellow TRF members,

I have the TT GMT and the SS GMT. I am in this weird dilemma where I find the bezel of the TT much nicer than the Black dial of the LN model.
But at the same time I don’t like the TT bracelet at all. I love the SS bracelet.

Will it be weird to replace the bracelet of the TT GMT with the Stainless steel version ? So it will be a mix of both watches. Perhaps best of both worlds ??

The Rolex bug is to be blamed !

I don't know if I would say weird...but, you're definitely going against the grain.

Well I can't comment on the TT black version but I tried this with my 116613LB bluesy and it doesn't work like I hoped. I mean... I really want to like it but it's just not exactly right.

I'll post some pics to show you what I mean.

IMHO it won't be aesthetically pleasing! Your watches so do what you like.

Maybe?

Agreed. I wouldn't do it but maybe Dr. Qadri likes it. That's his photo, edited.

lol... yup. Thanks.

It's not perfect but hopefully close enough to get him something to look at.

Thank you for this. It doesn’t really look that nice as I had imagined.
I’ll give it a try and post pics once I get home later this week.

Agreed. It seems to be missing something. Maybe it would be better on a 97200 bracelet that's fully brushed?

Personally, I'd just wear your GMT LN when you don't want any gold. Wear the TT when you do. Problem solved.

Don't like it at all to be straightforward.

DanMdR · 1 May 2018, 12:45 PM

I actually like the TT bracelet on the SS watch. The SS bracelet on the TT watch not so much.

Perfect for St. Patty's Day!

But I wouldn't wear that combo any other day.

Exactly. Lol.

I do think the LVc would look amazing in solid YG though.

Dr.Mehr · 3 May 2018, 08:55 PM

So I tried it. It was an ugly mistake.

Nice try and an interesting experiment. But I agree, the yellow is too stark against the stainless steel.

P.S. Your LN looks fantastic. So simple and elegant.

I’ll be wearing the SS. The TT will be flipped most probably.

brandrea · 3 May 2018, 08:57 PM

It doesn’t exactly work, but at least now you know.

I’d also consider peeling that bracelet sticker
