Bracelet ID

Picked this up hoping it would fit my 243....it does not.
Endlinks are obviously not the correct shape.
It was supposed to fit 44mm panerai's with 24mm lug width, but didn't list specific models so I was rolling the dice from the get-go.
Aparantly I came up goose eggs.

Anyone have thoughts on which panerai model this might fit?
It appears to be a decent bracelet, just not for my watch.

Where is the link from where you bought the bracelet?

There is no link because I didn't buy it from a dealer.
The only information listed on it was that it fit 44mm panerai with 24mm lug width.
I knew it was a gamble when I bought it.
It's no biggie, I was just wondering if anyone might know what model it would fit in case I pick up more panerai's.

I wasn't expecting you to get it from a dealer hence the question. I am interested to know which model it was claiming compatibility in the advertisement. I highly doubt that bracelet would fit any other Luminor model based on the shape of the end links. The curvature looks the same as the curve on the bezel, which is totally wrong. The curve on the midcase on any PAM is much less (meaning the diameter/radius of the arc which describes it is much larger) compared to that of the bezel.

It looks more like a Rolex bracelet than any Panerai bracelet I've seen in that regard where the mid case and the bezel curve are the same.

It wasn't claiming any model. That's why it was a roll of the dice.

Well, had you asked before purchasing, we could have possibly saved you from rolling it at all. Like I mentioned, it looks more like a Rolex (or Omega) bracelet. Definitely not a Panerai one.

But that would have taken all the surprise out of the purchase!
Live and learn.

Well, good on you for that point of view. You can always sell the bracelet, or get a watch that would fit it.

Wouldn't be the first time an impulse purchase didn't work out.
Honestly though, in the interest of full disclosure, the bracelet was only $5 so...it wasn't exactly a big financial hit.
I guess I'll have to see if it fits my sub.

It's most likely not life-changing in terms of cost, but expecting something eagerly, waiting for it to arrive, and then only to be disappointed when you open the package is unmeasureable.

Yea...I was pretty excited when it came in. Was looking forward to having my 243 on a bracelet.
I'll find one eventually.

Success!
Way more than $5, but it actually fit my 243.

Looks great. Congrats! Where did you get the bracelet?

Ebay.
End links don't line up perfectly with the bottom of the lugs. I believe the bracelet is probably meant for a luminor gmt replacement. I'm not that terribly picky though
