Maybe a stupid question but, would be it possible to fit the SD43 bracelet in Deepsea

Hallo Friends,

Maybe it's a stupid question and maybe I didn't got it right with the SD43 size but it would be possible to fit the SD43 bracelet into a Deepsea??

I agreed, the bracelet in the Deepsea is the best in the market but just wonder if It somehow could fit it....

Thank you

There are no stupid questions, but some questions have very simple answers: no

Not possible.
And why would one want to do it anyway?

Are you thinking the dimensions of the bracelet are better suited for the deepsea?

I think maybe he means the different style glide lock. I love the glide lock of my dssd better than my sub.

I think you'll see the bracelet updated on the DSSD at Basel 2018.

The glide lock on the DSSD is really cool!

The bracelet width and clasp size on the SD43 is incredible and incredibly proportional to the case. IMO it would certainly be an overall improvement for the DSSD if it could fit, but no I can't.

to really do it the right way the entire lug width would have to change which would mean the case design would have to change.

It would be much more than a bracelet update, it would be a whole new watch.

It's perfection except for the width.

Check the rubber b for the deep sea !
That makes the watch look more in proportions i think and gives a real nice touch of n the deep blue imo.

.


SD 43 -> bracelet Oyster 97220 ==> 22mm between lugs
SDds -> bracelet Oyster 98210 ==> 21mm between lugs

Answer is obvious ...

I think they'll modify the case so as to share the bracelet of the SD43.
