Anybody willing to try this experiment…
Looking for someone who owns both a Tudor hertiage blackbay on riveted bracelet and the new Tudor Ranger also on bracelet.
What I am curious about is will the ranger bracelet fit the 41mm black bay provided it uses the black bay’s endlinks. My theory is that the midlinks on a riveted bracelet are the same width to those of the ranger bracelet. Not sure of the measurements as I don’t have either to hand. However if my hunch is right it could mean a bracelet with more of a taper and the use of a T fit will fit on the larger heritage bb41. Resulting in a potentially more comfortable fit. 🤞🏻 TIA |

Hmm..... might be interesting. But you'd still have e some rivets?
Just trying to utilize the T fit clasp? |

I am aware the ranger bracelet fits the bb58. My question asks if it fits the 41mm variant. Appreciate 1 is 20mm lug width and the other is 22mm but they look to have similar sized midlinks and wonder if the bracelet off the ranger fits the endlinks off the 41mm black bay.

There is a video on youtube that goes into detail about the ranger and bb58 bracelet measurements and I compared the measurements to that of my eta black bay which has a non rivet bracelet however it wasnt a match as the midlinks on my bracelet are too wide. A rivet bracelet has slimmer midlinks and “possibly” could attach the ranger bracelet to its endlinks. |

Following!
If your theory is right, I’ll be buying a Ranger bracelet for my BB 41. |

Not what you asked for, but as this thread could use some pics here's my Black Bay ETA on my Heritage Ranger ETA bracelet.

The irony is if my theory is correct id have to source a the endlinks from a riveted bracelet and a ranger bracelet as the ETA bracelet has much thicker midlinks than the riveted. |

I think my theory may be right you know. Watching a video on youtube and the centre links on the ranger are 10mm and someone sent me a picture showing the centre links appearing to be 10mm on a riveted bracelet too
