Stupid mistakes while moving

So long story short I just moved into a new house which is 2.5 times bigger than my old house!!

In the process we threw out a bunch of junk we had in the garage. Someone threw out my box that I had stored the bracelet for my Pepsi GMT Master II in since I prefer to wear it on a NATO.

With that being said does anyone happen to know where I can source a new/used bracelet at a reasonable cost? Even though I haven't worn it in sometime now that I know its gone it's eating away at me. It is the one with the smaller clasp not the newer big clasp version.

I have also contacted a lawyer to start the divorce process from that someone who threw my bracelet away. lololololololololol

On another note it could have been worse, my buddy found a pristine vintage omega in a pile of rubbish while emptying an apartment, the owner cannot be found.

I feel the pain! I threw out some of my wife's jewellery when we moved five years ago. She still reminds me today that I owe her big time plus interest. :(

Believe me, from experience, the new bracelet will be MUCH cheaper than the divorce...

Ouch, that sucks! I would make a post in the classifieds here (and also search through them) stating the bracelet model number you are looking for. Also reach out to the trusted sellers (DavidSW, Takuya, Justrolexes etc etc) here and see if they can source you one. I know they have found older bracelets before for people. Good luck man

Divorces are usually worth it.

Not worth it; you need a hitman.

If you have insurance on the watch you can 100% file a claim and get bracelet direct from factory.

Sorry to hear. Give it some time, you never know it may pop up over the next few months.
We moved last July and I couldn't find a few things, most have since popped up.
Good luck
