This is one solid bracelet for those who are not familiar with them.  They are thick, comfortable andhave solid end links and a push-button deployant clasp much like the Monster bracelet, only even more heavy duty!

Available on the bay at +/- $50....well worth it in both polished and brushed finishes.  I believe they come in 20mm, 22mm and 24mm lugs.

I have one of the 24mm variety (actually 22mm with 24mm endpieces).  It is a hunk of steel - very nicely done.  I only wish they made some curved endpieces for it (happens to be same bracelet on the Riedenschild Dark Sea Diver, but signed and WITH curved endpieces to mate snugly to the watch)...
Steve

p.s. they also make it in 18mm

Yep.........me too, but I believe the problem with curved end links for aftermarket bracelets is the need for different arcs for each sized case for proper fit and alignment, and, I would think, differing distances of lug pin holes from the case curvature would also cause some "fit" problems.

I have heard nothing but good comments on the Lumpy (as the Brits call them).  I haven't decided what watch I would put one on as my 9G has a terrific bracelet and I am generally a Leather Strap man.

I've got mine on my Hammy Khaki Field Chrono...and it looks great.  I used to be a bracelet only kinda guy, but now I enjoy a nice mix of bracelet, leather and nylon bands.  Lately (kinky as it might sound) I've started to appreciate silicon/rubber!

On Zippo's rec, I am stronly considering another watchadoo to use on my Orient Black Beast!  I also think it would be great on my Daniel Mink diver, but I really like the silicon strap that's on it!

The WATCHADOO bracelet is the best braceet that I have had considering the price and quality.

 

Franck(ebay seller) is from Australia and he is a great guy to deal with.hand6.gif I've got several bands from him on discounted price.

When I recieved my blasted bracelet, after a 4 week wait, he said there are new shipping rules in place that put a 2 week delay. he's not happy about it either. Of course he added a extra strap for the extra wait.
