aftermarket bracelet

Post by JamesH »

Hi, can anyone recommend a SS brecelet for my C61?

I know CW sell the actual bracelet but I was wondering if there are any other options, I'm generally a leather/rubber/nato strap man but am thinking of switching to SS bracelet. In the past I've found bracelets to be hair pullers and either too tight and restrictive or too loose and annoying but maybe I just have a weird shaped wrist!

Cheers

The standard CW bracelet is likely to be only one you would find that is shaped to fit directly to the C60 case, but there are plenty of aftermarket bracelets with straight end links that would fit the C61. Anything with a lug width of 20mm would be ok.

For a wide range of options take a look here - http://www.watch-band-center.com/watchs ... -20mm.html

I owned a couple of C60 bracelets - old and new versions, although I've never owned a C61. I imagine the bracelet is very similar - just a narrower version.

The "new" C60 bracelet is a decent quality. I'd say the only slightly weak point was the clasp, which felt slightly lightweight in comparison with the rest of the bracelet. Compared to others, I'd say it represents reasonable value for money at £95.
