the typical new guy bracelet question..
hi all.
enjoying my new BB58. i'm new to Tudor and I'm seeking advice on a bracelet. i'm trying to find something in a good custom bracelet that's just a bit different to the stock bracelet. i'm after a custom straight end bracelet of good quality. something a bit like a custom 1955 7923 straight end bracelet. something that at first glance you think "why does that look different.?" does anyone know of any custom bracelet makers out there. as an example, sort of in the spirit of the take on the jubilee that is on my skx. at a very quick glance it looks like a jubilee, but it's not. or as a second option, does anyone know of a good supplier of something like the straight end 7923 that i could use to have my jeweller modify for me. i understand a lot of people love the stock bracelet to the matching watch, but i'm also starting to enjoy custom bracelets like good custom leather straps. any and all ideas are welcome. |

I found this on eBay, 22mm 316L SS straight end bracelet for my Tudor Ranger. The center links are slightly more narrow but it works fine for a little money I'm happy with it.

a quick google search has me finding that ebay store. the ranger is a 22 and the 58 a 20, but it looks like they might have some options to modify. cheers |

i've got a few natos for the 58, and looks good as well.
but like any guy with a new piece.. you line up the leathers, nato's, perlons, etc.. then you realise you don't have many 20mm bracelets that are "unique" i enjoy the hunt for a retro inspired bracelet. something like an aftermarket bracelet you might have put on back in the day, if you ever lost the original bracelet.. not that I"VE ever done that.. |
