Need help
Hello everyone
I currently own a DD40 YG and a TT GMT-II and I'm looking to add an AP by the end of this year. I'm interested in the 15400or on bracelet but since I can't afford it at this time I'm thinking of buying a 15400or on leather belt for now and later buying and adding the bracelet. My doubt is whether AP sells the bracelet separately, if yes, then the case number and the bracelet number might be different? What are your thoughts? Should I just wait a little longer and buy the watch on the bracelet itself? Thanks |

Maybe my ROO is different or too old - but I just swapped out the steel band for rubber last night and noticed there weren't any numbers on the steel bracelet. The AD most definitely will sell you straps/buckles/plots/bracelets.

I would definitely wait...I believe the cost to add the bracelet after the fact is significantly more than the delta between the strap version and buying it with the bracelet up front. I know other members on the forum have looked into this option and will chime in with the exact details I am. Either way...great choice!

Buy it later, I was quoted £16K for a RG ROC bracelet.

You can buy the bracelet later. I wanted to get one for my 15305or. AP quoted me around $22k.

For me it would depend on the time frame you're thinking before buying the bracelet. You could always be enjoying the watch on strap while saving up for the bracelet. This is of course, as long as it makes financial sense, or close to it... I don't think much of this hobby makes financial sense, lol.
