After market sub bracelet

Hi guys,
My sub bracelet is getting pretty worn out and I just don't have the $$$ at the moment for a replacement.
I don't want to go leather, rubber or nato.

I've seen Italian made aftermarket bracelets that appear to be of reasonable quality, but can't find anywhere in Europe that sells them.

To be clear, I'm looking for an unbranded after market one. Not a fake.

Any suggestions?

Send your bracelet out for repair.

Is it a stainless steel bracelet or gold?

I’d put it on a nato and be done with it until I had the bracelet repaired or replaced with an original oyster bracelet

It's stainless. I can't send it out of Europe for repair, as I will have (and have had with a dial) problems when it comes back into Europe with customs.

All I want is something of reasonable quality to use until I can get a new one. I had to pay nearly 1000€ to service it a year ago, I was going to get a new bracelet then, but wasn't expecting the service to be so expensive.

As I said, funds are not available at the moment, as we've bought another house.

After market sub bracelet

Not sure why all the negative comments. He’s not trying to buy a fake. Nato band is also aftermarket but that’s ok?

These aftermarket bracelets are really cheap, just buy one and see how it turns out
