15305 Skeleton strap to bracelet

[pvinpvin]

Hi, Would anyone be able to share whether the strap on 15305OR can be change to the RG bracelet?

[HL65]

It can and if you search you will see some examples of how it looks. Here is one that was for sale a few years back: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...hlight=15305or

Thank you so much, HKL65, for your kind info. Now that leads to another question, if it is possible to buy the RG bracelet seperately from the AD or the boutique (and at what price)?

The thing is, I have a friend who's willing to sell his 15305OR on strap to me but I just prefer the bracelet version :)

It is possible, but quite risky due to potential counterfeited bracelets being out there. Unless a person happens to have satisfactory documentation supporting authenticity I’d be extraordinarily cautious.

Yes they can be purchased separately directly from AP. They are very expensive. Cannot remember exactly but at least 20K if I remember correctly. Probably more now.

Thank you SMD, maciej for your inputs

Yes it can. I did it. You can throw on a 41mm strap and it'll fit like a glove.

Yes it is possible. I bought a RG bracelet myself to fix it on my 15305OR which is originally in a strap.

This is a pic of the my 15305OR in bracelet.

That's phenomenal! I'm a big fan of your IG!

Since you seem to own both the 15303or and 15407st and these two watches' price range are very close, which one out of the two would you pick up today? (Assuming you don't own any of them)

Hmm... tough to answer. I will say the 15305OR over the 15407ST by a very fine margin, simply because in RG,the watch has slightly more visual appeal. However, if the 15407 is also in RG, then the choice is 15407OR.

Ouch this.

It is always much more expensive to buy the bracelet after the fact. I always advise to go with the bracelet model when you buy. You can always get the strap later, but getting the bracelet later expensive.
