18mm Titanium bracelet ?

Post by rogerb40 »

Has anyone found/tried/bought a nice 18mm titanium bracelet, ie of 'CW quality' standard?
I haveta have a metal strap, due to sweaty conditions here, but would like to try something a bit lighter in weight than s/s, if possible.

Thanks
Roger

You could try this supplier...

Can't say what the titanium bands are like, but the supplier is reliable and all products I have purchased have been of decent quality. :)

Ha :)

Thanks , Downer, I never realised there was such a huge selection of straps and bracelets.......maybe someone who lives in a warm climate could recommend an alternative....something light and washable (and of course compatible with C5 Aviator Malvern) ??

Ever tried a Nato strap?

Very comfortable, inexpensive and easy to get along with - although clearly far more casual than your s/s bracelet..

Just an idea... :)

I would recommend the NATO strap for your purpose. They can be easily cleaned.

Thanks again...we used them in the Air Force.
They look very 'utilitarian', IMO :)
Looking for something slightly more upmarket, or possibly sticking with the standard S/S.
