seraphe Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Very much prefer these new style bracelet over the old style ones. The design and finish are more comfortable and sleek. I'd keep mine with this bracelet for a while.
wheaton26 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 the new bracelets are growing on me. i hated them when they first came out. nice watch!
asf Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Where did you get the bracelet. seriously I dunno where to look for one!
w0lf Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Robert//PWC on RG can get them but they're pricey. I was thinking of getting one too, maybe we can all chip in to save on shipping.
asf Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Robert//PWC on RG can get them but they're pricey. I was thinking of getting one too, maybe we can all chip in to save on shipping. ooh nice! I really like how it fits to the case pretty snugly
Drulee Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Yes, I definitely think it looks a lot better with the new style bracelet.
mastrmindalliance Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 They have been out for quite some time, but not with the cartel. While the cartel has them now, i think they are sourced from elsewhere as I got mine on the streets of KL 4 months before the cartel had them. The homage delaers have them too. Josh sells them fitted to the 21j 088. OP: looks awesome! edit: oh, and cant vouch for the newer old styl;e bracelet (the 24/22) but they are much better constructed than the older old style one (24/24). really top qual!
seraphe Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Posted October 4, 2010 The newer old style 24/22 brushed SS bracelet that came with 236 is the best constructed rep bracelet I've ever seen. The details and edges are very precise. Feels almost like the gen. The only thing that bugs me are end links which are slightly blunt-edged and the gaps. These are actually negligible if you aren't too anal about the details. The new style rep bracelet as seen in this thread was bought from a ioffer dealer but it was quite pricey. I got it for $100. The fit in between the lugs is perfect and the edges are gen-like. Even the engraving on the clasp is great. The only complaint I have is probably the brush finish, which is not as smooth as the satin-brushed quality of the old style from the 236. I tried some light cape cod cloth but it only helps a little.
statikman Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 The new style rep bracelet as seen in this thread was bought from a ioffer dealer Can you PM a link to the dealer please? Thanks
seraphe Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Posted October 4, 2010 Can you PM a link to the dealer please? Thanks PM sent That makes two of us, pm please. Tried to send PM but failed. You have set your account not to receive any PM.
denisegold Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Strange as I have been receiving other pm's l night??
Lomberto Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Hi, I am also very interested please PM me too
mastrmindalliance Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Yep the only problem is that they dont sit quite flush to to the top - facing side - of the lugs (no biggie) and the large gap between the end and second links (biggie IMHO). really nice look and feel overall though and looks awesome on the OP's watch!
Drulee Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Don't forget that there are a couple different builds of the new style bracelet, and there is no guarantee that they both will fit these new cases. Also, I think the old-style bracelet included with these new Daylights, is a 24/20mm not 24/22mm.

Also, I think the old-style bracelet included with these new Daylights, is a 24/20mm not 24/22mm. My bad... you're right. The old style bracelet with these new Daylights are 24/20mm. They are fantastic IMO. Well I took the risk of the fit with this new style bracelet on my 236 coz I really like the look of the new style bracelet on a 44mm Luminor case. Since there isn't any good PAM 299 available yet, this is the best I can live with for now. I was just lucky that it does fit the new Daylight case very well
PeteM Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 TswissT will sell the new OP bracelet that he has on his 196. He wont guarantee it fits all PAM cases though. About $60 And he aint a TD here or anywhere I dont think. I have bought a few parts off him with no problems

I tried some light cape cod cloth but it only helps a little. The cape cod Is for polished ss only. Try a Scotch brite pad,these are for brushed ss,they have worked very well for me. My Omega bracelet had some finish issues. I used a scotch brite pad and the bracelet looks much better now. Remember to always go In the direction of the grain and the pad should be a little damp,makes It eaiser to work with,good luck
FxrAndy Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Looks nice, but did i get that right Also, I think the old-style bracelet included with these new Daylights, is a 24/20mm not 24/22mm. that the new A7753 236 comes with an old style 24 tapering to 20 bracelet????
Drulee Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 I completely forgot, I purchased a newstyle bracelet months back. It didn't fit on any of the DSN or Ultimate cases, not without modding anyway. I'll have to give it a try on these new case sets once things settle down and I order one..
