Talk to an AD. They can order you one.

You can go through your AD. If I remember correctly for a BB 41 it's @ 1k or check out Strapcode, 316L SS super oyster @ 100. but of course the quality is not as nice as OEM and the center links are slighty narrower. I don't know how tight the end links fit, I bought a Super Oyster ll for a Ranger with open, straight end links. Just saying in case you don't want to budget for original. Good luck, I'm sure other Gmt owners have more info and made that move.

The AD I bought my Tudor GMT from knew I wanted it on a bracelet, but when one came in on a strap he called me to see if I was interested. I stopped by to try it on, but decided to pass. He took the watch to a back room and came back a few minutes later with it on a bracelet.

He suggested that Tudor was shipping GMTs with the NATO strap so ADs would buy more bracelets separately. I would always buy a watch with a bracelet and get a strap later rather than the other way around.

They Tudor bracelet is £600. I got from rsc. Any ad can order for you but if you are near a rsc then they will likely have it in stock and be able to fit on the spot.

In the US, the bracelet is $850. The wait time was roughly 6 weeks from the AD. Good luck.

I actually did the reverse, sort of. The AD had two GMT's, one on leather and the other on bracelet. I bought the bracelet version and ordered the leather.

They quoted me a date of Dec 18 for them to get it...it came in last week. I get the feeling, though, that this particular AD has a very solid relationship with Tudor. Or they have a very hard charging Tudor rep in this area, one of the two.

So, yeah. I would head down to the AD and see what kind of magic they can work for you. And while we're at it, if you're interested in the leather at all, I highly recommend it for both looks and feel. I don't think I'm going to put mine back on bracelet.

I bought mine on bracelet and my AD ordered the blue lether strap and deploy. They gave me a VERY deep discount on the strap setup.

When I enquires I asked my local RSC. Shouldn’t be an issue, but whatever expectations you have on price, double it

Rather than paying $800 to $1000 just for a bracelet I'd pick up one of the other Tudor watches in a 41mm case with a SS bracelet like a Black Bay. Now you have 2 watches and a bracelet that fits both.

Just what I needed—an excuse to buy yet another watch!

Bought mine on the strap and ordered the bracelet from my AD. I was quoted $600 so we’ll see when it arrives.

The bracelet is very expensive to purchase after you get the watch, I was quoted $940 Canadian dollars at an AD for my Black Bay 41.
