Reps with metal bracelets?

[webby48]

Anyone have suggestions of reps with metal bracelets?

From searching the forums (and google) it appears there were reps created 5-7 years ago of the 236, 297, and 977, but I can't find them with any TD. The only trace I can find is on Trusty's site where the thumbnail for "Luminor Auto Power Reserve" is a model with a metal bracelet, but when you click on it, the section is empty.

Thanks

Good day.

I think the question can be put a little differently: what bracelets were made? The first bracelet of the old style was made, it could be either polished, satin, or combined, but only steel It seems like someone talked about the likelihood of a Ti bracelet, but I've never seen confirmation. SS / Ti is also not in the old style. Also, I talked about the 24 / 22mm bracelet. Also there were 22/22, but I saw only in poor quality.

Accordingly, we put this bracelet on any model that has an analogue on the strap and we get 2 models. Also, some supplemented with a steel bracelet, although gen went only with a a regular strap to sweeten the deal when buying from TD, such as the 228 and a few others.

Also a bracelet of a new style, this is pam297 / 299 / 236, as well as some models with a 1950 case, but in general, any model with a bracelet could be made just by adding it, by the way, I am sure that 236 and 250 do not excel in serial numbers, the difference is only in the presence of the bracelet.
This bracelet, both for the Bettarini case and for the 1950, was also made only in steel

Take 438 separately with a ceramic bracelet.

No models with the following bracelets, of the same quality, were made.

Now factories do not make models on the bracelet, both old and modern, the exception is 438 on a black ceramic bracelet.

In terms of m2m, my best choices are 299 and 297. The new style bracelets look and feel perfect. Also, when buying a bracelet separately, to complement the watch yourself, you need to understand that they do not always fit with end links. Ideally, this should be one model and one manufacturer. Although, I've seen a lot of good fit examples. I myself sometimes wear pam243 on an old style bracelet.

Thank you for the detailed post. Is there a specific name/model for those 3rd party (or maybe in this cash 4th party) bracelet I should be looking for?

I also took a look at the 438, but was looking for something closer to SS/Ti like you mentioned.

I do not quite understand what you mean. What are the bracelet models called? Honestly, I do not know, although I think there are some codes, their names are indicated.

But if you just want to buy a bracelet, I advise you to link WTB with a picture, or just be on duty in m2m waiting for a suitable one.

Here are images of the first series of gen bracelets. Now there are new ones, but their replicas are not exactly in a decent quality.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for!

I suppose if you don't mind some aftermarket ones, aliexpress does sell them.
eg. PEIYI Stainless steel watchband 24mm silver men's bracelet Replacement metal strap for Luminor series PAM441 111 watch chain|Watchbands| - AliExpress

I've not used metal bracelets so I can't comment on how good they are.

Unfortunately, this is not the best option. The clasp is bad, and the links themselves are not two-piece. They are just one piece cast. Plus, from what I've heard, no one can fit them into the case of popular lines. But this is not necessary once at a time, you have to try.

Some number of photos of my bracelets that I had.

I have never seen or used a Panerai bracelet in hand in rep or gen so I have never looked that closely but it was interesting to read a few items.

On the new bracelet page, it states the lugs are asymmetrical. Is the center link not centered? In what way is it no symmetrical?

Also I didn't know the metal bracelets have a clamping system that make it so you don't need screws. Does that extend to the rep versions also?

Now I will try to explain. New style bracelets have an unsymmetrical sel if you look at him in profile, I cannot give another explanation for their words. They seem to mean it.
If we talk about full face, then they are absolutely symmetrical, like the end of the case, to which they are adjacent.

Now for the old style bracelet attachment system. There are several options, different were used at different times. Here are 2 examples:



Rep bracelets did not have an option with additional screws. They either have small paws, which is very good, but their shape is often not ideal, and they have to be filed under every watch, otherwise they at least do not hold smoothly. Or without paws and screws, just for the stop in the cutout of the bottom of the case.
