I was thinking this weekend, if I needed an extra "beater" bracelet for my Rolex, but didn't want to pony up the $44,000USD that Rolex charges for a replacement, what would my options be?

I bought a Hadley-Roma for my Seiko. Except for the link pins, it's pretty good.

I suppose I could pick up a $50 Alpha GMT or whatever and pull the bracelet. They have a nice dive extension and screw links.

We won't mention the R-word.

Check out the Italian offerings from Milano. They are not cheap but seem to be the closest to an original look without breaking the bank..

I know, I do the NATO thing, but in this case I said bracelet, which pretty much limits us to a metal or candy.

Have you clicked the link that's metal all right?
