New TT submariner bracelet. Any solid gold rep bracelets out there?

[Lil princess]

I've just bought a TT sub from Andrew. Can't wait to get it!

I would like to put a solid gold TT bracelet on it. Any ideas where I could find one apart from eBay?

Give mymanmatt a PM, seems like he has a source for very well made TT and solid gold bracelets. He lives in the epicenter of Rolexdom, I'm sure there are about a million TT subs around him, Genuine bracelets wear out too, and I'm sure a lot of sub owners get sticker shock when they walk in to their local Rolex AD and ask the price of a new bracelet!!

Fantastic panerai! Thank you very much. I will get onto him. New gen bracelets are over £2k! That's a lot for a new bracelet if they do wear out!

they do wear out. If you are a guy/gal who wears the same watch every day for years, it will eventually wear out, stretch, etc. Gold is softer than steel so it does wear out quicker. My wife wore out a SS/gold jubilee bracelet  after wearing her datejust for probably 10 years every day. the gold links were paper thin and were stretching to the point that it wasn't safe to use.

OMG! I never thought that could happen!

Look at the bracelets on Long Supply Co.  They have both 14K and 18K bracelets.  The TTs run $500 to $600.  If you get a solid gold one it can run $2000.  It's an ounce or two of gold.  What do you expect?

 

You might have to use a rep clasp if you want the Rolex coronet on it.
