New Oyster Bracelet Arriving Today!
Let me get your thoughts. I bought a new SEL SS Oyster Bracelet to replace my stretched out Non SEL Oyster on my GMT II. Would you guys keep the old bracelet or sell it. Will the watch hold it's value more if I keep the old bracelet? If it doesn't make a difference, what do you guys think would be a fair price to sell it for? Like I said, it is stretched out and is 13 years old. Thanks guys.

It should fit, at least that is what I was told by a few TRF members. Including Busa, the seller of the bracelet. If not, I hope he has a return policy.

As for the old strap, sell it; look on EBay to be competitively priced. |

while we're on the subject of bracelets, and i didnt want to start a new thread.
but is it common practice for people to purchase aftermarket oyster bracelets and pop on the original clasp? reason i ask is that im finding it hard to find a original oyster bracelet, that and the cost |
