AP 36mm SS bracelet - Where and How Much?

[ericdos]

Hey Everyone, First post here.

Been a long time vintage AP fan and have owned several from quarts 33mm to 36mm 14790 two tones. Mainly because I can't afford the 39mm chrono yet :)

Anyhow, I just got a slight step closer and just purchased a 36.5mm Pictet & Cie Special Edition in absolute mint condition.

I would really love to put a bracelet on it. Do you guys know where I could get something like this or how much it would cost?

I was thinking of buying a 14790ST and switching the bands if I can't find any solutions and then reselling the 14790ST with the Pictet leather band as the Pictet band is quite special and there are lots of people out there who have been looking for a leather band for their 14790

Here is a quick pic of the watch, since I am proud of it.

Nobody? I've been looking through this forum for the last couple hours, and so many beautiful watches that my watch looks like a baby :(

I will post some quality photos soon as I am a professional photographer, so I will at least get some quality photos up since I can't compete watch-wise.

Very nice, congrats.
Before even getting a Rolex, I had medium size Cartier Santos Dumont, your watch is fine and looks great, much nicer than my Cartier...

Thank You very much!

This isn't my first watch though. It's my 4th AP the rest were all two tone older vintage looking ones so they aren't the same in my eyes.

But I've had several hublots even though I know I shouldn't say that here... and a couple tags and omegas.

My dream watch is a 39mm royal oak chrono rose gold. I'm not a fan of any AP watches bigger. I've tried on a safari and it looks decent but just feels like too big of a watch for my taste.

I suspect Audemars make all their same case sizes with the same lug width and plots positioning, thereby having to only make one bracelet per case size.
This maximises profit and reduces inventory stock.

I would assume so too. Is there anywhere else to buy a bracelet other than straight from AP.

If I were to buy from AP do you know how much it would cost?

Hi - long shot as this message is old!

Did you get a bracelet for your Pictet & Cie watch? And did you manage to put the leather strap on a 14790?

I'm looking for the opposite solution to you - trying to find a leather strap option and end links for my 25920ST Quantieme Annuel - essentially 36mm and apparently the same case as 14790.

Must be possible even if I need to have custom end links made :)

Thanks.
