    By Golly I think it works

    After having this one heading out the door, I now think I found a good combo of bracelet and strap that should keep me happy for a while at least.

    Look superb on the bracelet, is it a generic one?, if so where did you source it from?, looks good quality with solid links and end pieces?.

    Best,

    James.

    It's a 90's Rolex bracelet, I've used the hollow Zenith end links from the original bracelet. The only issue I can see going forward is that the bracelet is 20mm and the end lugs are 22mm, so I guess I need to try to find a source a quality 22mm jubilee bracelet with interchangeable end links.

    My preference is the strap. Lovely match.

    I'm not usually a big fan of bracelets, but that bracelet looks absolutely perfect for the watch. I'd give the strap a 9 out of 10, and the bracelet a 10.

    Keep it away from me, I would chew your arm off to get that watch

    Looks great. Do you use the Rolex clasp or have you fitted another? A differently branded clasp would probably get on my nerves.

    It does have the original clasp, but it's just a temporary arrangement until I find a suitable 22mm jubilee bracelet.

    That looks really good on the jubilee. Cousins don't seem to have a jubilee in 22mm unless you want gold-plated or two tone - I recently bought one of theirs in 18mm and I certainly can't complain for the money (just over a fiver).

    Some of the Tudors have 22mm lugs I think and might have a jubilee style option - might be worth checking with them but I think you'll have a devil getting the right answer.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Looks very good on both the bracelet and strap but if it were mine it would see more time on the strap.

    Isn't a Seiko SKX jubilee - or one of the good quality aftermarket options - the most obvious contender then?

    I've seen a couple on the Otto Frei website that might do the trick, I'll keep looking and order something soon.
