I’m a new member here and have a 5711 rep from 3K. I would like to purchase the new type 5811 bracelet or clasp with the butterfly clasp like the aquanaut. Any help would be most appreciated.

Just understand they may take a while. Also, make sure you tell them you want the entire assembly with the links. Otherwise, they will send you the under-unit clasp. I ordered two, and it took a month for the first one to come. I am still waiting on the second. The first time, they only sent me the clasp.
The full assembly looks like this:

I have an update to this for those who are interested. I keep getting PMs about it. I commissioned two 5712 builds—one in RG and one in SS. It took a while to get the first one for my RG build, as I described above. I thought the second one would have arrived sooner than it did. Then CNY happened, and it got delayed again. I eventually told my source a week or so ago, to buy the whole bracelet, and like clockwork, it arrived in about four days. Instead of wasting time (in what could literally be months), ask for the entire 5811 bracelet. The extra cost will save you a lot of headache. The factory knows everyone wants this clasp and are making it increasingly difficult to obtain.

Aw man, my clasp and 5711 came and now i am experiencing that exact problem. Geektime gave me a clasp without the adapter links. I can‘t use the clasp now. 100 bucks burned or what should I do?
Everyone should know that the new clasp significantly increases the size of the ENTIRE bracelet. This is a big problem for small wrists (when you are down to the last fixed link).
You have to find a way to remove the fixed links if you want this new larger clasp to fit properly.

could you please let me know the name of your TD who accepts to sale a complete bracelet without the watch head and what was the cost of it please ?
