18238 replacement bracelet

How much is a replacement bracelet for a 18238 from RSC? I was just wondering. I have had my watch for around 20 years and there is some stretch but it’s still in good shape but was wondering what it would be to replace it.

I can't say specifically the figure, but I am pretty sure it's more than the cost of another 18238. There are places you can send your bracelet to get refurbished like Rolliworks that people on this forum have recommend. I myself have not used them yet.

Frightfully expensive is the answer, and I think Rolliworks is solid advice based on the pictures I've seen of their work.

I'm not at work right now, but if my memory serves me right it is close to €15k.

More than the price of a mint 18238 right now. Send it to Rolliworks and they'll make it looks brand new again
