Topic of discussion in title:

Is 44mm much too sporty to have on a bracelet? How likely is it that a bracelet will be released to fit the beastly 44mm? Thoughts?

tyler1980 · 29 September 2017, 06:18 PM

i doubt it because the watch is already so large and a bracelet would make it wear even larger. Secondly i think a big part of the aesthetic appeal of the 44 is the strap. A 42 can look good on either a strap or a bracelet but I'm not convinced a 44 would.

For sure i don't ever see a Ce bracelet for the Ce 44. The most likely candidate would be the Ti but i don't think they will.

HL65 · 29 September 2017, 07:09 PM

Doubt it and don't see why they ever would as it would totally take away from aesthetics of the watch. As for Ti and bracelet to lose the appeal of the super light weight of the watch and comfort on strap...Uh no thanks.

LAFLARE · 29 September 2017, 07:28 PM

Good points.. I guess I was mainly thinking about an RG bracelet but even then it seems like it would be too chunky. Didn't even think about the Ti as that would be pretty backwards..and quite hilarious if such a thing was to happen. Who doesn't want to be a trendsetter

Those watches wear very large as is!

jem7v · 30 September 2017, 04:31 AM

Why would you ever want that? \endthread

Pocosso · 30 September 2017, 05:22 AM

The Ti would be nice, but due to the size i doubt. It is so cool on strap!

drosen1 · 30 September 2017, 05:39 AM

Def. not!

Could you comment on the value of how a 44mm bracelet would hold if they were to make one? Or even better do you think you could get me a good discount on it if they released one?

s14roller · 30 September 2017, 08:35 AM

Even on the 42 I prefer the strap.

VICI · 30 September 2017, 08:48 AM

Much rather prefer the rubber straps.

Leather maybe for winter.

lianghee · 30 September 2017, 12:18 PM

No, it would look odd to me. Prefer rubber strap on 44mm even though I am a bracelet guy.

No bracelets on the 44mm but AP needs an updated Ti 42mm on bracelet with ceramic crown, pushers and hopefully bezel.

What discount? It's impossible to get more than 15% on an AP right?

That was a 42 not a 44 and yes of course. 42’s look fine on bracelet a 44 would look quite silly IMHO.

AK797 · 1 October 2017, 07:15 AM

I find the 42 bracelet already quite chunky so a 44 would be quite the beast.

Right, 42, I know, and I agree with you/what you're saying.
When you said "doubt it", and talked about the light weight-ness of the watch however, I was merely pointing out that a Ti bracelet HAS been done and COULD be done again, that it's possible, is all!
But again I agree with what you're saying and don't think AP will release it!

Fun fact - AP does make a bracelet for the 44mm:

All iced out, for those who love diamonds. Floyd Mayweather, I'm looking at you!

Don't do too much leather myself. Rubber is the way to go.
