New bracelet for Explorer II?
As you can see in my signature I own an ExpII with lug holes and non solid end links.
I love the watch but ever since I bought the GMTIIc every time I wear I feel it's too fragile (also noisy) and I'm always wishing it had SEL... I've thought about trading it for a newer one (same model) but I like the lug holes look and Tritium dial, can I purchase a SEL bracelet? Will a dealer sell one to me without keeping the current one? I've thought about a leather strap but I think what I really want is a SEL bracelet. Any alternatives? |

I was wondering the same thing for my Sub.
If I could, I'd love to put the new Sub-C bracelet on my sub!

I don't think SEL's fit on non SEL cases.

If your case is late enough that it has the machined ridge to fit the lower lugs of an SEL, they you have a couple of different options.. (an SEL Case, as Dan said)

I swap out my non-SEL with my SEL between my GMT II and EXP II all the time. Oh and a jubilee.. JL
