Tudor Flat Link Jubilee Alternatives?

[Manlodan]

Hello, I have a 1984 Tudor Prince Oysterdate with the flat-link jubilee, and while I love the watch, I’m interested in exploring some other bracelet options. In particular, I’m looking for something with a bit more heft, while still dressy, possibly a solid link Rolex-style jubilee. Are there any aftermarket bracelets that are equal or better quality that people have tried on their 19mm Tudors? Please let me know!

I have seen 1980s Tudor Prince Oysterdates with any number of bracelets. Jubilee or oyster, folded or solid. Let us know what you prefer.

Typically people don't recommend AM bracelets, but they are certainly available.

I’m looking for a solid link, prefer jubilee. I’m interested in the oyster also though. Why do you suppose people don’t do much aftermarket? Is it not possible to find comparable high quality products, or is it an originality thing?

Is your watch 20mm between the lugs? If so, I imaging that you can just use a 62510. I think people usually don't get much joy from aftermarket bracelets; that's certainly true for me. The bracelet is a major part of the watch. But if you like them, go ahead.

My watch is a 19mm lug width. I wouldn’t be opposed to a bracelet of equal or better quality; I just find that most of the aftermarket stuff I’ve handled looks good on paper and photos, but in person the quality just isn’t there. That said, If I can find an original solid link 19mm bracelet for around $250USD, I’m interested. I don’t think that will happen though.
