How can I get hold of one of the NYC rubber bracelets?
I've just seen a photo of someone's rubber bracelet from the NYC event recently. Silly thing to want but very fitting as I'm buying an Aquanaut and would love to have a band/bracelet to match :-)
Is there any possibility of finding one of these somewhere? |

Quick update. I just spoke to HSW NYC and they could not have been any nicer with my enquiry about getting hold of one. Unfortunately these were only for the press though, so it looks like a very rare thing to get hold of.
If anyone hears of one though, please lmk :-) |

I sold one on eBay. Unfortunately my 5 year old daughter enjoys wearing my other one, if she tires of it I will let you know. They were given out at the VIP entrance.

Also interested in one, especially the blue but black is cool too, if someone wants tonsell send me a PM, depending on price can be interested. Also like the Omega leather one, very cool, been thinking of getting one for the opposite watch wrist, but these PP are nice. PM me if you have one to sell

Dear God Almighty, this is just sadness taken to a completely new level now!
It’s bad enough with all the usual incoming “look what I got” posts, but for a bunch of adults to get this excited over a bit of bloody rubber (keep your minds out of the gutter!) is simply ludicrous. Probably just as well I wasn’t in attendance, since if I’d been offered one of these, I’ve have remarked, “Do I look like I’m 6 years old?”. Seriously guys – start acting your real age, not your shoe size! |

There's many guys who wear bracelets with stone beads or stuff like that, which I really don't like, to each his own, I find the blue one interesting and cool to wear in summer, yeah I am immature and this is surely childish, but I know that since at least the age of 20, not a big fan of the black but blue is cool...

Perhaps aiming alittle to high, but if it was made by the same company that produces the aquanaut straps, then maybe it was $5-10 each. But I don't have possession of one so I can't speak on that.
PS - I went to one of the later private events in the week all I got was the book. |

It's just one of those live strong bracelets that people used to wear. Nothing special.
