CW have certainly never produced a Bracelet for the C8 PR, or any other C8 over the years for that matter; they have always sold on strap only.

I don't think I have ever seen a C8 PR on a bracelet, which would have to be after-market and with straight end links.

Is yours the brushed steel or PVD version?

It is not a perfect fit, however it passes the test for me. I have worn my C8 power reserve with a 22mm C65 bracelet. The bracelet was never intended to fit the C8 case. I like the look even as it has gaps. YMMV I do prefer the leather straps for the style of this watch; the bracelet serves to mix it up a bit.

You could try the 22mm mesh I suppose, but not sure how well that would work :problem:

Is it the curve of the case and end links which don’t match?

The curve gap is small, but noticeable, on both the 6 and the 12 sides of the watch. Also the C8 lugs are thicker than the C65 so the C65 bracelet sits fractionally lower at the pins exposing the side of the case between the lugs.
