Bond Titanium strap
Hi all,
I love the new titanium strap on the Bond Seamaster 300m, but with the watch being double the price of a standard 300m (A$14,000 vs. A$7,400 +c.20% discount), I was wondering if you are able to buy the strap separately and pair with the white dial Seamaster? Thanks |

I ordered one about 3 weeks ago from my AD and do not have an ETA yet. I think I'm paying $1400 for mine.

I know the Houston OB had the titanium strap that can be bought separately a couple of weeks ago when I put my Snoopy deposit down. They had the Bond watch on the NATO and the bracelet with the option to be bought separately.

Have you considered this?
Not my pic, but I have the same set up (not wearing it today). I paid £250 for the Omega sharkmesh bracelet, it was about 4 years ago so it is probably higher but a great alternative with a more heavy duty buckle. EDIT: the ref is 020ST1380237 for the 20mm version |

This is actually a great option. Can the mesh be sized for smaller wrist like 6.5”? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The smallest setting measure approx 1.5cm from the longest. So it would take you down to approx 6.4 inches. You can actually cut out links easy enough and slide the spring bar through the next row but it wouldn't be necessary in your case. Sent from my SC-02K using Tapatalk |

Thanks, tried the bond watch on over the weekend and found it looks a lot smaller on my wrist than the black/white 300M.
The AD commented it may look a bit mismatched due to the colour difference when pairing which was a pretty fair point. Will likely buy the 300M on rubber. |
