Hi everyone, I’ve been on the lookout for a new two tone jubilee bracelet for my 1984 datejust 16013. I’ve looked through the many threads on here and landed on the Italian braclets but they unfortunately are only for the stainless steel models. From reading around it sounds like those are the highest of quality - does anyone know of one that comes close? I’ve looked as raffles options, specifically the gold filled one but sounds like quality doesn’t exactly match up. Anyone have any recommendations?

I’d look on eBay. I’m fairly sure there is at least one vendor who sells real gold and steel bracelets as well as plated. You would have to install your branded clasp on it because they
only come with blank ones.

There is, and exactly my plan if I decide on biting the 2 T Bullet soon, crown as well, I never had issues with bezels, but I'm usually in casual short sleeves when I'll wanna wear a 2 T (y)

I've bought from eBay a Tudor style and a cheap Rolex style bracelet, both with the intention of hopefully using them for spare links (8.5" wrist), both had plain clasps in the pics, both arrived with branded clasps.

No one does it on eBay, or if they do, they don't last long, but you can visably see on DHgate and occasionally AliExpress blatantly photoshopped reps, all the writing removed apart from the SWISS MADE at 6pm, 904L and Clean factory stickers still in place!

Yep that's the first thing I look for, also ETSY especially if you want a quality solid logo'd bracelet for something less mainstream ..........

Like TAG Heuer f.e. I got a lovely solid Bracelet Solid Clasp one for my CAZ1011F1 which was £90 ish but well wort it since it improved the whole feel and looks of that rep 10 fold ;)

I once bought a wrapped bracelet from eBay and the clasp was blank. I had a gen that I installed on it and that’s where it is to this day.
