More bling!

So Scarlet Knight bought an SRPC44 after I peer pressured him but he returned the favor by getting a gold bracelet for his first.
Just received mine yesterday from Strapcode. Had to wait a couple of weeks for them to be restocked, then less than a week free shipping from Hong Kong.
The bracelet is branded Militat, all links are solid, end links made to fit the turtle, very high quality. I've never been much of a yellow gold guy but this addition makes the watch look much more bold, I'm liking it.

Looks great, glad I can be a positive (?) influence. I was never much of a gold fan, but I agree that that bracelet was made for that watch. Really like mine. Thank you to the other posters who steered me in that direction.

I don't want to buy another one but I'd love to see what this watch would look like on Strapcode's Oyster-ish looking bracelet.

I thought about that, too. Maybe someone else will take the leap.

That's the one I'm calling oysterish. It appears that it would look great too. I can say the jubilee is very comfortable.

There’s only one way to find out.

The end mill/president does look great. Any volunteers to get it in the interest of market research?

It turned out to be a rigodon for my watches.

Transferred the TT bracelet to the SRP775



Then transferred its all steel bracelet to the Pepsi



Since the turtle was on bracelet, had to get a matching oyster for the samurai

The light did not catch the goldtone color of the endmill well. Will try to take a better picture later.

Sweet! That is also a nice look on the C44 and I love how you were able to swap the bracelets around. The Strapcode bracelets have amazing quality.

You might have to get a second gold Turtle for the jubilee bracelet!
