What to do with a bracelet you no longer want?

I have two DJ watches. One has a jubilee bracelet and the other an oyster bracelet. The one with an oyster bracelet is a recent purchase from a TRF seller. After a couple of weeks I've realized, for me, a jubilee bracelet is the only one to wear with a DJ. I'm going to my AD to order a jubilee bracelet. So what does one do with the other bracelet? I know for sure I won't be using it for the DJ and there are already "desk dents," on the oyster bracelet. Thanks!

Either sell it or keep it for when/if you ever sell your DJ.

Melt it for scrap metal.

Donate it to a museum.

Use it as a paper weight.

Make a Christmas tree ornament.

Throw it in a well.

Feed it to a cow.

Lots of options...

Might be a good idea to mention if it's a SS or a TT bracelet when you post it.

Hopefully a buyer won't be color blind when viewing the picture :) so I'll mention it. Thanks again! Cheers!

Bracelets are not cheap.

Sell it to someone who is in the pity of needing one and is stunned by the list price.

The text search feature is color blind, so it's always a good idea to describe the item for sale.
