I have a 2018 stainless Blancpain FF Bathyscaphe with the black Kevlar strap but love he look of the FF on the stainless bracelet. Does anyone know if Blancpain sells only the bracelet and if so what the price is? Has anyone made the switch or own both?

Blancpain is not Rolex, the AD or boutique can order an additional steel bracelet for the Bathyscaphe. Not cheap, will be more then 2k.

Will be expensive as the complete nato set will set you back around $800-900

Now that is just insane.

Looks like I’m sticking with my Kevlar strap.

the bracelet pops up on watchrecon from time to time for between $1600 and $1850 which is line with many other brands. The old nato with its lovely hardware is hilariously priced but can be occasionally found for ~$350- $400 on eBay

edit :there’s one on ther now, i’ll,pm you a link

Any review on the bracelet? I also think it looks really cool, but wish it has some sort of extension like the VS Overseas V3 does.

Tim Mosso on Watchbox has a pretty good review. Check it out on YouTube.

I just asked this question of my AD the other day. Direct from Blancpain, I was quoted $2,550. Pretty much what I thought it would be.

I purchased the Bathy chrono over a year ago on the sail cloth strap and then purchased the bracelet second hand from someone on one of the watch forums. The price from Blancpain is over $2500, but I got a new one for ~30% less.

I love the bracelet, I think it looks great and the fit on my wrist is great. For the money I do wish it had a micro adjustment. It does come with half links, which are actually slightly larger than half a full link, so I was able to get the size to fit really well.

Happy to answer any questions.
