No Bader on bronze Aquitaine

Post by Rensak »

Any ideas why Christopher Ward does not offer the bronze Bader bracelet on the bronze C65 Aquitaine, just on the bronze Dune?

I don't specifically know why CW don't offer a Bronze bracelet on the C65 Aquitaine, but I wouldn't be surprised if the fact that the C65 Aquitaine is 41mm with 22mm lugs, whereas the C65 Dune and C65 Sandhurst (which share the same case), and have a Bronze bracelet, are 38mm with 20mm lugs; has something to do with it.

Sorry, was thinking with my heart and not my head. Love the look of the bronze Aquitaine on a bronze bracelet. So if I want a C65 Aquitaine on a Bader bracelet, the only option is stainless steel.

Thanks for the response.

I assume steel bracelets are often the same bracelet/links but with a different end link. Bronze bracelets will have fewer target alternatives, as well as being both more expensive, and possibly less popular.

Therefore maybe CW have a stock of non bader bracelets to sell before they can introduce a bronze bader.

The one bronze bracelet they offer separately says Bader, but only 20mm. https://www.christopherward.com/int/wat ... XB-MA.html

Only fits the bronze Dune.

I love bracelets, and I love my bronze C60. BUT I'm not at all sure that a bronze bracelet is something I could take the weight of!
There's always time for one more.
