How much do the OEM bracelets cost? Any website with good quality metal bracelets?
I found these on a website called strapsco.com for $75. Not sure about quality.
How would that work with the 26420 quick strap change (well, it wouldn't)? Not sure why one would put a $40k watch on a bracelet that costs $75 (and looks like it).

I think these might have a quick release version.
Why? Same reason lots of people in life do what they do; Cause it’s mine and I can do whatever I want with it : )
But mostly cause I don’t have a dress watch that’s SS right now and toying with the idea of how this would look with metal bracelet.
If there is a better quality option there at a reasonable price I would definitely be grateful to be pointed towards it.

At some point, an SA at a boutique ventured a guess of ~$5k for a ROO SS/quick release bracelet. Reasonable is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

Relatively expensive for stainless steel. But Not the worst price.

wow that is insanely cheap. the deployment clasp for the ROO is like $1600. so $5k for a whole bracelet sounds really cheap.

Sorry to revive this. I just got my 26420ST with rubber straps , but kind of miss stainless steel bracelets like they have for the 26238. Does anyone know if the 26238 quick release bracelet would fit on the 26420. I know they aren’t the same case size… appreciate your help, and couldn’t find anything online.
