jj69 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 I've seen a couple of mentions of the bracelet for the new Aquatimer, both here on the forums as well as on a couple of dealers' sites. Silix lists it as: "Stainless Steel strap available as well." However, no one has posted a photo anywhere, so I'm concerned about quality. Has anyone actually seen it? Any photos anywhere? The gen bracelet looks like a wider version of the old GST bracelet. Are they re-using that with new end links, or did they actually create a custom Aquatimer bracelet???
ryaku Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Interesting question but honestly i don't think it's already for sale. Maybe a new aquatimer version will be released in the future with a ss bracelet. I can't wait to see the quality.
yellomen Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Angus told me 2 weeks ago it was not finished yet. So i assume we will have to wait a little while.
ryaku Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 yellomen are you also waiting for the ss bracelet before buying it? I wouldn't mind a new version with a real 2 sides ar coating.
watcher Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 I would buy in an instant with a steel band!!! and would get a swiss 7750 with swiss Dw's put in it and double ar from K2222 and it would be near perfection!
yellomen Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 yellomen are you also waiting for the ss bracelet before buying it? I wouldn't mind a new version with a real 2 sides ar coating. Same here Ryaku! I waiting for it indeed and some small upgrades wouldn't be bad
Watchmeister Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Y- I am with you. I will tough it out until the bracelet version comes out. Fingers are crossed the bracelet is of similar quality. - Kruz
yellomen Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 I sure hope this thread wouldn't become as long as the Slevin thread... i hope it won't be more than a month before the bracelet comes out!
eunomians Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 I'd like to add the bracelet to my watch. Great watch BTW
sye46 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 what is it with the fascination of a bracelet? I think the watch is beautiful with the rubber strap. It is a diver's watch after all. Also, the rubber strap is extremely comfortable and light. Not too bling bling and gives the watch a sporty look. I have so many watches with a bracelet, i look forward to getting a watch with a leather or rubber strap.
watcher Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 It does look nice with a rubber strap but even better with a braclet for me the problem is that my wrist expands when I get warm and as a result I prefer to wear a bracelet with a little play to allow for it which I find uncomfortable to do with a rubber or leather strap. I really hope it comes out!!!

yellomen Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 this bracelet is kind of brushed, not bling at all. Indeed... and we want it soon!!!!!!
promotersf Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 Sending mine out for the regular The Zigmeister Lume, but also doing the new Chieftang Double AR and doing the ETA 7750 swap. I'll post pics once all the pieces come together and I get the watch back.

yellomen Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 No news on the steel Slevin bracelet?
lanikai Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 No news on the steel Slevin bracelet? still...."hurry up and wait",... not yet
ryaku Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 We're not even sure they're relesing a ss bracelet for this watch.
doc savage Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Here's one: watch-ebay Not something I would buy, but I have heard the seller is an honest one. Maybe the band fits the current "good" rep? Edited January 15, 2008 by doc savage
yellomen Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 Maybe the band fits the current "good" rep? unfortunately this won't fit.... but i think Angus told me some months ago they would replicate the bracelet. Are there other people who got similar signs from Angus or one of the other dealers?
lanikai Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 We're not even sure they're relesing a ss bracelet for this watch. supposedly the bracelet will go on the slevins coming out with them but none for spares to attach to the case sets that we got with the rubber straps..
ryaku Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 supposedly the bracelet will go on the slevins coming out with them but none for spares to attach to the case sets that we got with the rubber straps.. ouch, that really sucks .... though i'm not buying it before a ss bracelet will be released,so not a big deal at least for me and all the other guys patient enough .
yellomen Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 supposedly the bracelet will go on the slevins coming out with them but none for spares to attach to the case sets that we got with the rubber straps.. Oooo that would be a big time bummer for some guys! And personally i'd prefrer a spare rubber strap with it and i can't buy 2 so i can have both options! I'm curious what the release date will be...
