    Wishlist - bracelet for the PRS29A or antimag for the Everest

    I really really want to get a oyster like bracelet for the PRS-29A, with microadjustment. Either that, or the Everest with antimagnetic protection.

    It's a pity because I want an inexpensive Explorer type field watch with antimagnetic protection, and the bracelet of the Explorer really completes the look. The Everest with bracelet captures the look but doesn't have the antimagnetic protection of the PRS-29A, so I'm kinda sad that Smiths doesn't just either provide a bracelet for the PRS-29A or make the Everest antimagnetic. :-(

    A bracelet on a PRS-29A would be totally unsuitable for that style of watch. IMHO.

    I totally agree. The original would have had solid bars anyway.

    The only bracelet I can think of working on a 29a is a Bonklip

    Used to have one as shown below - it ended up back on Perlon though as most watches Ive owned have

    I was thinking bonklip too. I had the Jospeh Bonnie one and it was very comfortable.

    The Speedbird (baby or regular) is anti-magnetic and comes on a bracelet, though not an oyster bracelet.

    4800 is the basic antimagnetic resistance of the most basic mechanical movement. It isn't enough.

    I bought a Milanese strap for the white PRS 29AM and it looks ace in my opinion, one on the left.IMG_5408.JPG

    I asked the manufacturer to uprate the anti-magnetic properties of the new batch of Everests and he replied "it's always been 20,000A/m".

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
