Question about the current C20 bracelet

Post by welshlad »

If a new C20 is ordered now from CWL with the bracelet option, is the bracelet entirely brushed (as per all the C20 pictures I've seen) or does it have polished centre links like the other bracelets?

The C20 page shows the all-brushed bracelet. But on the Straps/Bracelets page, to order them separately, the C20 bracelet has polished centre links. So I'm a bit confused.

I thought about emailing Wera to ask her, but I've bothered her enough with other shopping enquiries recently, so I thought I'd see if anyone here knew the answer.

Thanks. :)

This thread shows it with polished centre links similar to the C60.

I have the 2009 FLE with the older style braclet (which is brushed). Given that the watch is brushed finish, the bracelet works perfectly. Please see the pictures of the FLE in the post below.

Thanks for the info guys.

I have a spare new-style bracelet from my C60GMT that I don't use very often, so I've emailed Wera to ask if I can buy just the end-links to fit a C20. That would be cheaper than getting a whole new bracelet and if I don't like the look of the polished centre links on it I can resume my search for an original bracelet.

..or you could just refinish the bracelet to a brushed look. :)

True, but I'd want to be able to still use the bracelet on my C60 now and again and I like the polished centre links on that.

However, if anyone has a brushed C20 bracelet they'd be happy to sell I'd be interested! I have a thread in the WTB section.

Or even a C2 on a bracelet to sell, I'd entertain that too! :smile:

Good news! Wera has confirmed that the C20 end-links will fit the C60 bracelet and she will put a pair in the post for me tomorrow. Excellent! :thumbup: :smile:

That is good to know. May have to consider one now. :problem:
