Photo please. If you plane to waterproof it, it's necessary to press it in with crystall glass press tool.

flax buy yourself an affordable ultrasonic cleaner. That’s all you need for your bracelet. The replica bracelet despite looking clean are actually filthy with dust and even little metal shards.

I have ultrasonic cleaner. Bracelet is clean and smooth. Problem is with clasp which doesn't lock easily and surface finish.

Very good but take the bracelet off the watch and get it submerged.

Wd40 will do nothing for the finish of the steel, nor the lock. You should consider a new clasp spring.

Also, and I do this on my genuine omega bracelet. Push the double buttons in before closing the clasp, and then release.

Yes, I don't clean bracelets with watches mounted on, it's only illustrate photo. :)

I communicate with PT now. They offered me orange / black rubber strap from new "Planet Ocean 43.5mm SS VSF 1:1 Best Edition Black/Orange Bezel Black Dial on Black Nylon Strap A8900 Super Clone" for 78$. They told me that it's the same lug size (21 mm) like GMT, but I want that they must first send me photo with the rule. :)

Keep in mind that tolerances of replica watches vary, especially between factories. So a strap may fit better or worse on a particular midcase. You’ll have to try and see

It's the same factory - VSF, so I hope that it will be very similar or same case.

I agree, quality of the bracelet and especially the clasp is low compared to VSF CRPO. They are like from different factories.

sunnydale I'm shocked that a bracelet from the same factory can be so inferior..Is it really so bad? I feel that they should include the rubber strap, like they did with the regular CrPO. The whole thing is kinda disappointing..

Overall I love this watch. Had it for about 2 weeks now. Losing ~15seconds a day. QC timegrapher had it at -0.8second @277°. So quite a difference, but hopefully comes back down after I get it serviced.

Only complaint is that a screw from the bracelet came out right at the clasp and I lost that pin and screw. Fell off my wrist completely at work. No chance of finding those in the shop. Was hoping to just replace with a pin from one of the links I took out, but it doesn't fit in the clasp hole. I've tried short of really forcing it through. No issues when I took out other links, so that's all I can figure.

Going to e-mail TD and see about another bracelet or strap.

I would love to see more people post of the random straps so we can figure what fits. I was thinking of trying a few from Ali before, this just moved up my timeline.
