LRRP UTC Bracelet

[twll]

Hello, I have a new to me LRRP UTC and I love it. However, I am looking for a bracelet (I have posted a WTB) as it is not available on the MKII website - can these be bought new or am I stuck with trawling the web to find someone with one for sale? Cheers

I'm a total newbie to MkII (though there is a Paradive with my name on it getting ready to ship...), but my understanding is that the LRRP/Milsub bracelet doesn't fit the HRV-enabled case with screw bars.

Thanks for the reply Jeff. That's a beaut on its way to you.


My LRRP UTC has the spring bars so a bracelet should fit, right?

Twill,

Welcome to the forum! The LRRP's all use the same case dimensions, regardless of HRV/ screwbars or non/springbars. However the screwbar placement is slightly different from the springbars. As such the bracelet only fits springbars- so your in luck it will fit your watch. Finding one may prove to be a rather different challenge.

I'd start by sending an email to MKII asking if they have any stock, otherwise you'll be looking on the used market, and I suspect it'll be rather hard to come by. Some other brands do fit the case, I've heard for instance that certain bands from WJEAN work, but can't verify this personally.

Good luck and congrats on a great watch

Thanks - I did what you suggested and ordered it from MKII yesterday! Can't wait!
