Reply With QuoteFrom memory the bracelets fit but you have to keep the original end links
I think where the bracelet meets the end links is identical but the actual end links might be 1mm different in size
Hoping someone can clarify a query I have.
After a bit of googling it's evident that the bracelet from the Tudor Ranger 39 will fit seamlessly to the BB58. However, I can't find anything regarding the opposite swap - fitting a BB58 bracelet to the Ranger 39.
Common sense suggests it should be fine, but lurking at the back of my mind is a memory of a post somewhere that said it didn't quite fit properly.
To confuse things further, I wouldn't be fitting a Tudor BB58 bracelet to the Ranger, but an aftermarket bracelet from Uncle Seiko or Forstner.
Does anyone have any experience of doing the swap? TIA.
Or, does anyone know how much the Tudor Ranger bracelet would cost from an AD? Probably nearly the same as the actual watch.

I'm only seeing where people have literally fitted the whole bracelet to the BB58 and no mention of end links?Originally Posted by wileeeeeey
Could you not just get the 1450 bracelet with end links from Uncle Straps?

My recollection from other threads is that the bracelets, including end links, for the Ranger 39 and BB58 are interchangeable.
It is the switch between a BB-Pro and BB58 that requires the correct end links to be used. Again a recollection. Would seem to make sense due to the thicker case of the Pro compared to the Ranger/BB58.
I wasn't sure about a president bracelet. I think I prefer a straight oyster, but never say never.
I'm weighing up options and there seem to be more options for the BB58.
Ah, I see…yes, I can appreciate why you would be looking for the Tudor bracelet then. The president bracelet definitely doesn’t have the weight of an OEM Tudor and the clasp is stamped. I found it a perfect fit that gave the watch a more vintage feel though because of the old school clasp and bracelet.
