White Gold Daytona Bracelet

Hello-
I have a WG Daytona on a strap and was considering buying a WG Bracelet. Does anyone know the cost of the bracelet and can it be purchased?
Thanks
Scott

It would be very cost prohibitive. My guess is over $10,000.
In addition, no AD will source it for you unless it’s a replacement for the correct 116509 model.

Also it won’t fit on your watch.

Hey Scott,

I don't think you can convert the strap based to bracelet. It has to do with the way they mount into / under the bezel (as opposed to spring bars).

Won't fit, you'll need to buy a Daytona that comes on the bracelet.

White Gold Daytona Bracelet

One cost effective route might be flipping your strapped Daytona for a WG one on a bracelet.

Sell/buy via trusted seller.

You should see the pictures in this thread to see WHY it will not work.
