I've been wanting to add this to my collection since it was announced at Baselworld. Figured a pic was in order.

Here's my question - now that I have a brand new Rolex bracelet (literally never used) - I'm going to sell it since I'm keeping the Rubber B. Any idea what it's worth??

Thanks!

tkerrmd · 12 August 2014, 06:40 AM

not sure what its worth, but sure would not sell it!

I agree with Tom's advice (twice today actually).
Keep the bracelet, any money you get out of it now is surely lost and then some if you ever sell the GV. Incomplete Rolex always take a hit. Some sell for hundreds less without a box, imagine what a missing bracelet will do to the sale.

MattyL147 · 12 August 2014, 06:45 AM

Do not sell the bracelet. You may like the rubber now, but that bracelet will be much more expensive to replace down the line once your taste changes.

T01 · 12 August 2014, 07:21 AM

I wouldn't sell your bracket! They are very price to replace.

GoCubsGo72 · 12 August 2014, 07:46 AM

Wow, that's 4 for 4.....OK, I'll hold onto the bracelet. I really appreciate the feedback!!

Good decision I also wouldn't sell the bracelet. I love the blue, can we see some more pictures?

Don't sell the bracelet, if you do need to sell in future then dealers/buyers will use that hugely against you.

Chewbacca · 12 August 2014, 08:54 AM

keep the oem bracelet.

Time Exposure · 12 August 2014, 09:26 AM

That's a BLUE Milgauss? Looks black.

Old Expat Beast · 12 August 2014, 09:45 AM

Keep the bracelet (and put it back on the watch, IMO).

Fila0220 · 12 August 2014, 10:01 AM

looks pretty sleek. I'm looking into a rubber b during the summer months for myself also. I would keep the bracelet tho.

mike · 12 August 2014, 11:19 AM

I'll echo what others have said..keep the bracelet.

The watch does look good on the strap by the way.

WWC · 12 August 2014, 11:26 AM

Always keep the bracelet my friend. I've got my sub with NATO and leather at all times but the bracelet is the ultimate one. Will take a hit if you sell in the future.

Dr.Atom · 12 August 2014, 11:40 AM

I will buy the bracelet...

Investr · 12 August 2014, 11:47 AM

No disrespect but please put the SS bracelet back on!!! Sorry....

Kyu · 12 August 2014, 02:00 PM

Keep everything u can that came with it originally
If u do decide to flip it in the future, u'll thank me for it.

No offense to anyone but when u try to flip it ... They'll be vultures trying to find every excuse to give u less for what its worth

Not trying to steal the thread but posting pics of mine

And since someone made the comment about it looks black, its rather a dark blue and with the green glass it looks greenish

Here is a wrist shot under a light in the car around 10pm outside

gregvisser · 12 August 2014, 02:07 PM

I think you should probably keep the bracelet. But hide it away. That RubberB looks far nicer than the bracelet and having run my Sub on RubberB only, I know how light and comfortable that is on your arm right now. Good job.

Hairdude1 · 12 August 2014, 02:14 PM

Glad you keeping the bracelet

GoCubsGo72 · 13 August 2014, 10:37 AM

Thanks all! +1 for Rubber B. Couldn't be happier. Love the look and feel!!!

kaseri · 13 August 2014, 12:52 PM

Keep bracelet in a safe place. You will want to go back to the bracelet at some point for a change.

Laszlo · 13 August 2014, 01:04 PM

That poor watch.

Nycturbovr6 · 13 August 2014, 02:17 PM

Looks good with the rubber b

pixels_poet · 13 August 2014, 02:37 PM

You MUST keep the bracelet!

Danny83 · 13 August 2014, 02:46 PM

Keep bracelet ...It would be hard to ever sell it without.

This

Good for you that you don't prefer the bracelet as when time comes to sell, your watch will look very mint and be an easier sell than someone like me who would plaster it with character
