I have seen some build threads with bracelets individually wrapped with chinese writing on..

Guessing based on that, that you can buy rep parts from the republic???

I'm looking to build a rolex and need a bracelet, case, movement etc

Can anyone recommend a supplier please, thanks

So you need a watch.

I have a lot of genuine rolie parts...

What I want is a completely custom watch(es) to my spec rather than factory, if anyone on here dealer wise does that by all means let me know

Dealers sell watches, not parts, because factories don't sell parts to a dealers.

I've bought bracelets and crowns from a TD in the past but I got the impression that they were quite hard for him to get hold of and he only did it because I buy all my watches from him.

Your best route for getting parts might be to drop $100 on a 21J version of the model you want and throw what is left away (or sell it on here), if you're using gen Rolex parts, the cost of the rep parts is going to be a tiny factor in the cost of the final watch.

If you can be more specific about your needs perhaps we can point you in the right direction. Everything is available for a price.

There are a few sellers on eBay that sell rep bracelets.
Many are sterile, but if you ask the seller they usually have the rolex branded bracelets.
