Seems like we've been talking about strap/bracelet options for a while now...

I want a stainless bracelet for my diver - and that is becoming somewhat difficult to acquire...can't seem to get one from a boutique - they say it's not 'available'...

Curious how some of you guys got yours...

I've seen a few on chrono24...but the price seems eerily low...

What do y'all think the best route to acquisition would be?

Thoughts???

Call NYC boutique. They sell them or will order one for you. I bought one there in person.

genauto · 24 September 2015, 12:26 PM

I got mine from APSC in Clearwater while watch was in for service.

Hairdude1 · 24 September 2015, 12:56 PM

I found mine in the for sale section here

1st amg · 24 September 2015, 01:25 PM

I bought mine through our trusted seller DavidSW when I bought my diver in July

TimeOnHand · 24 September 2015, 02:49 PM

I bought my from AP Boutique in Hong Kong. $2350 USD. I got lucky as they always seem to run out of stock on the Bracelet! Good luck!

Looks sharp!

Don't ask for the "diver's bracelet" since the bracelet was designed for the ROO chronos.
As above, the service centre are likely to be more helpful, and can sort you out or provide the product code which you only have to quote to the boutique.

bayerische · 24 September 2015, 09:15 PM

ROO bracelet is what you need.

csi-n · 24 September 2015, 10:28 PM

I simply called Clearwater, ordered one, and received it the next day.

That's what I've figured out...when I called one of the boutiques - they actually asked me for my model and serial number...which is a show stopper for the diver...

I think this is the route I'm going to take.

My wife and I will be in Paris over the holidays and I was really hoping to get one there-- but as I mentioned earlier -- they asked me for the model and serial of the my watch and then said it was a no-go...

Roger, contact the Paris Boutique prior to departure, and ask them if they have or can have item number BR.1000.003.ST-M.R available for you to purchase whilst visiting.
If not, and if you’re transferring flights in London, then if there’s sufficient time available, you can get it from the Service Centre – you can find the address details on AP’s ‘Where to buy’ page.

PM me and I can point you in the direction of a AD in Boston that will order and ship. If you're aren't in their state Conn or Mas then you can save tax as well. I get nothing from the deal, in fact I'm saving to do the same. I've been a client of the dealer for about four years.

I posted a WTB here on the forums and as contacted by a dealer that had one in stock from a customer that ordered one and flaked out - got lucky I guess. Paid a few hundred $$ less than retail.

I walked into the Clearwater service center and 15 minutes later had the bracelet.

Roger, it should look like this. You may want to confirm the part number with them once you connect on Monday:

Then, you'll have a Diver that looks like this:

PJ S · 27 September 2015, 10:42 PM

I stand corrected Sam, I must’ve taken it down wrong.
Either way, Roger now knows what to ask for, from wherever he decides to purchase it.

Yes indeed, he's a friend lol.
Anyway, it was his kind of 'thankfulness' after the 10th AP I bought from him in 10 years

If you got all your Ap's from him 10 years straight you deserve that kind gift and great gesture
