You think you can't get an OEM 5 link bracelet for your Tudor GMT/Chrono? Think again

Thanks guys. Glad I could help. Hopefully some day Tudor will offer the watch with a 5 link option. Until then, at least we have this option.

One thing to keep in mind, is that there are differences between the oval 5-link bracelet that comes with the new Tudor Chrono Blue (and Pink, I believe), and the 5-link T-Fit bracelet from the BB 41 that several here (myself included) have swapped in on the GMT, Harrods, etc.

The links on the oval bracelet are just that (oval), whereas the 5-link T-Fit BB 41 are flat on the bottom. This does not impact comfort, nor is it that noticeable, when on the wrist.

More obvious to me though is that the oval 5-link bracelet has a greater taper from the lugs to the clasp, and as a result is 1-2 mm narrower at the clasp. So in that sense it wears slightly differently. Not sure if this has been called out previously. It’s minor, but we know how these minor differences can matter. 😉

Good intel! The little details make all the difference.

Ha so true!

Here’s to Tudor making T-fit more widely available, and on Oyster style in addition to the 5-link.

Good info. Thanks for the update.
