    MK II Vantge Bracelet

    Hi,


    I own two MK II "VANTAGE" and want to "Update" them with Metalbracelet, unfortunately they are no longer available at MK II, so my question is do you have any recommendations for "Oysterstyle"
    Braceletīs wich will fit the VANTAGE Case???

    Maybe with picīs!!!

    Thanks a lot...

    Hi Alex, i have two Seiko Super Oyster bracelets, screwed links but hollow ends, i've had them 2 years and they seem to be really good quality and very affordable. On one for an Oris watch i filed the end pieces to fit 18mm, the other is on an Ollech & wajs diver, 20mm ends, hope that helps Skinny

    I have been comparing and seeing what it would take to fit the Kingston bracelet to the Vantage. What I've learned is that because of the way the Vantage case is made, the default or 'standard' Oyster-style bracelet won't work without modifications - this is because the first link out of the endpiece needs to be a 'longer' link in order to allow the ink to bend without interference to the lugs. I am contemplating modifying a cheap bracelet with custom end-links and custom-made 'first link' to see if it can be 'easily' done.

    I think it will take a lot of looking and trying before you might 'find' one that would work without modification; but if you do, please let us know!

    This highlights another topic I brought up a while back. There's a poll on here somewhere asking how many people would buy a MKII rivet bracelet for the Vantage. At last count the number was very high.

    I know Yobokies usually focuses on Seiko stuff, but if he could fit one of his SuperOysters to an end link that fits the Vantage, that would be an awesome combo. I added one of his SuperOysters to one of my Sumo's (which also has 20mm lug width) and it is totally sweet.

    This is a terrible pic, but here's my Sumo on Yobokies SO:
