I'm exited to see pics.
Actually I managed to get something here. I am preparing the pics to post.
So guys, I was looking on my watchbox and noticed a Armani replica that was laying there for years. It happens that the bracelet have 23mm and I only noticed this today.
First I will show pictures of the final result and than some explanations. Sorry for the quality, I just did it in a rush.
So, here are the details of how I did it.
Here is the Armani watch that I took the bracelet.
I am using fat diver spring bars, so I had to drill just a little the last link holes to fit the bar. Regular spring bars wont work on BPFF. I used this tool to drill. It's a Dremel like cheap driller.
As you can see I am not using the SEL. It wont fit. Maybe it is manageble, but it will be a hole new level of work and will need a lot of drilling that might not look good.
Here are some pics of the SEL fitment. It fits perfect on the case but the lug holes are very off.
And here it is how it hould look if we manage to fit the SEL. I think it looks amazing.

I bought that exact bracelet from Ali express, same problem, no way to reconcile the end link with the lugs.
If only I had a full machine shop...

I have a friend who works as a metal shaper. Gonna ask him to have a look. He has a FULL machine shop!
I think I have found rep bracelets and buckles for our BPFF. I am checking it as the dealer is not a TD here. I have found even pvd bracelets lol. I will keep you informed.
Awesome. Please give us more information.
In the meantime I am working with a guy to build the SEL for the bracelet that I have posted before. I kink we will get something ...
I don't hope getting a perfect rep of the SS bracelet, because I saw it has a normal butterfly clasp while gen has the best clasp in the watch industry (with triple lock system). But it is similar and it is polished SS which fits perfect with watch. I am trying to get an answer of the dealer.
Regarding the ss buckles
https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/348929-New-Blancpain-Watches!
You can see there that it has a buckle in somehow close to gen which is good. I am waiting for getting reply as it seems that puretime is having problem with their websites (it has been shut down a few hours ago). Ask that TD...
Regarding the SS bracelet I can not post the link , the dealer is not TD here but it is Trustytime, and it is TD in the other forum. If you want link you can send me pm.
I think that it will need some mod that bracelet because it is from a different maker but at least has 23mm and similar shape and look to gen.
Nah, the clasp is ok, but it's far from industry leading. IWC are still bracelet kings for their simple sizing, quick change feature, push button micro adjustment and secure lock system.
the hinged locking clasp is not particularly rugged nor secure, especially for a dive watch.
The leaf spring that snaps the butterfly open and closed is a nice feature.
is this the bracelet you had seen ?

the links appear nicely done, but the end links are too flat for the FF

Are these pics of a gen or rep?

Here are the news I have.
The watchmaker that I found in my city will not be able to make the SEL. Mostly because he doenst have the proper tolls to drill this kind of steel that is very hard.
I found some replica websites that show some blacpain with steel bracelet and I sent a few requests. Only one answered. But they said that they could not sell only the bracelet because the package is too small and It have a big chance to be lost in transit. But if I buy one watch they will be happy to sell the spare bracelet and ship together. A lot of BS to me, they want to sell a overpriced watch.
The're perfect Watches btw. I don't know if they are scammers. Maybe not, but they sell averything overpriced compared to our TDs.
But I asked how much hould it be the aditional BP bracelet if I buy a watch, they said it will cost $35,00.
So, not expensive. But we need to find a dealer who will be willing to sell the bracelets to us.
