Nautilus 5726 bracelet and strap HELP
Hello everyone,
I’m lucky enough to join the PP family for the first time next week It is a 5726A that will be added to my collection and I am wondering if there is any way to fit the stainless steel bracelet from the 5726/1A ? I do like the watch on the alligator strap but I wouldn’t mind having the possibility in the future to put it on the bracelet. Of course I am not talking about all the issues of finding one since PP will never sell me one etc. Just wanna know the technical possibilities of doing so. Thanks guys ! Again very happy to be part of the fam |

Thanks, I just saw an aftermarket conversion kit.
Any feedback on this? Worth considering it or just rubbish? Because basically it’s just the central link that makes it impossible because for the rest those 2 watch are the same… |

there's a reason why the steel version is a lot more on secondary and it's largely due to this. Otherwise, you could just replace the bracelets as steel is more desirable to the masses right now.
The leather version is as you said the same watch otherwise. Just enjoy it. |

Thanks for your input however, maybe my initial message wasn’t clear enough, I don’t want to do this to increase the value of the watch or to think 1s I will sell it as a 5726/1A. It is for my personal usage and I do believe that at the end of the day we are the sole owner of those watches and we can do whatever we want with the watch even if it wasn’t meant to. |

i would never use aftermarket attachment on this, but that's just me.

I would just use the rubber strap that comes with the 5726A instead
