Guys,

My trusted grey dealer offers me a USD 1750 Pre owned but minty SS Band for my New Safari... worth it???

Or better be content with the current hornback leather? (Cheapest option)

Or buy an addition brown rubber strap? (USD 300)

Regards,

I think the ROO is best on rubber. I personally am not a fan of the roo bracelet.

Love the SS band but 1750 is too Expensive

I think it looks best on leather or rubber, bracelet I would just go with a RO like the 15202

after having a bracelet on my diver I prefer the rubber now

This...I'm strap for ROO, bracelet for RO.

I voted to buy the bracelet...But it would depend on a couple variables

1. If the bracelet was new or old style closure. Big difference in my book. Owned both...prefer newer style.

2. If you plan to add other ROO's in the future. You can swap the bracelet on any of them so nice to have on hand.

Just thinking out loud

Have SS bracelet (new style) for Elephant and very satisfied...

If it were me I would spend 500 and buy new. But that's me (and what I did).

I too had the bracelet. A thing of beauty but it's far too heavy for everyday, all day wear. Plus that's like a couple hundreds too much for mint condition.

The new style steel bracelet is art.

OR sell your current watch and buy a used one with the ss bracelet, it might be a cheaper route
