help, can I get a rose gold bracelet for my 39mm ROC

anyone know if i can purchase a rose gold bracelet for 39mm ROC 26022 series

It comes standard with a leather strap, and I got an AP rubber strap which I wear primarily.

Wanted to know if anyone here has experience with buying a rose gold bracelet and approximately how much it would cost.

thanks!

My friend has added a RG Bracelet to his 15305R skeleton and has mentioned that it does not hug his wrists as much as he'd like because of the modification. I am not an expert on APs but make sure it is compatible and the fit is acceptable

The AP bracelets are somewhat an "acquired taste" in that because of their relative lack of flexibility and large off-center deployants, they don't "hug" the wrist like an Oyster or typical bracelet. Since there is no micro-adjusting clasp, you may have to order a 1.5 link from Clearwater to get an ideal fit. I think most of us wear them just a pinch big, and once you get a little used to the different fit, you will almost certainly find it to be one of your favorites.

I love the RG skeleton in a full gold version, it really rocks, with just a strap I find it boring and less appealing, even if a brown rubber strap is also to die for

You can for the 41mm so could be possible for the 39mm. I was quoted £16K for my 41 ROC's bracelet so I bought a Nautilus instead.

Recently I tried to order a bracelet from AP boutique in Singapore for my RG Skeleton. They told me one of the strangest thing. I was told they can order the bracelet for me but they will not attach the bracelet to my watch. The reason is that they do not want to compromise the original design, which is supposed to be in strap. Go figure...

At least they will order it

Rolex would probably tell you to blow smoke.

I guess the Nautilus was money better spent than the bracelet.

Oh, yeah, and that's what I told the lady at Marcus as well. Buying a bracelet model would have cost £8-10K more than the leather so def too much coin.
