Need advice

Hi I would like to ask for advice One of The AD just called me and ask if I am interested on the 26631or with leather bracelet I use to have the full bracelet and regret selling it now I’m thinking about buying the leather strap and order the full rose gold bracelet what do you guys think? Or should I wait for a full bracelet if I get lucky? All advice would really be appreciated 🙏

If you want it, buy it. Try it on the leather and maybe you will enjoy it, if not, add the bracelet.

I think the chrono looks awesome with a rubber strap - have a 26331st on my wishlist, and that's what I'm planning to do with it. YMMV.

You should just get the leather one and add strap. Then you get best of both worlds.

The cost differential is simply the cost of the strap + 4 gold plots (very expensive IMO) + gold deployment clasp + of course the gold bracelet. Differential is around 5-7k I think which is basically the cost of the opposite parts.

PS, I agree with Vogel and throwing it on a rubber strap anyways.

Either way is good. Spend now or later for the bracelet. Killer watch though.

If you can wait, it would be cheaper to acquire 26331OR with full rose gold bracelet and order extra alligator strap.

If you purchase 26331OR with leather strap and order full rose gold bracelet later, the overall price will be more than the other way around.

+1 and will be easier for resale down the line
