I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Sorry a bit late, but I got one from an AD in WA last week, next day delivery, unfortunately, they didn't have the bracelet version available, but the fabric strap is very comfortable. I may pick up a bracelet one day.

Uncle Seiko has them for $129. Im sure they’re not Tudor quality - but, that’s a nice price.

I’d also look at Forstner for a nice bracelet. I had both the Ranger and BB58 at the same time and found the Ranger bracelet was a perfect fit on the BB58, so I expect the reverse to also be true.

I have the Forstner on the normal Black Bay, and I really like it.

Still loving mine and I struggle everyday not to put it on - but most days it still goes there. I could easily drop to a very small collection with this being a primary.

I wear this watch a lot because it’s such a great size, so easy to read, comfortable and great looking watch, and the bracelet is so comfortable.
