C7 Rapide Quartz Chrono - Bespoke Bracelet ?

Post by Kalli64 »

Hello to all C7 Rapide Quartz Chrono owners,

when I look at pictures here in the forum or on Facebook, almost all of them do not have a steel bracelet on their C7 QC.

Therefore a thought came to my mind: is it conceivable to ask CW for a Bespoke bracelet for this model? It should be possible to find 50 owners of this watch who are willing to spend a few euros for the matching steel bracelet.

What do you think?

It was originally available with a bracelet. Perhaps just put a query out in the WTB thread? That might be an easier starting g point before investigating a bespoke bracelet from CW.

As for a bespoke bracelet, in theory it ought to be easy because all we’re really talking about are bespoke end links for the current bracelet. I have no idea what kind of expense might be involved with that.

I was aware that the C7 was also offered with a steel bracelet at the time. Only have this apparently very few customers bought.

I have already for a long time a post in the WTB corner - so far without success :-(

That is true in principle with the end links - only that becomes even less interesting for CW if they only have to make end links. So I think anyway
