Just to clarify, I gave up waiting for a bracelet I could afford! I put in some offers but my budget seemed to be miles off what people were asking, it's getting to the point where the bracelet is worth more than the actual watch. This whole watch seemed a good price and it's just the perfect Heuer for me, I really like the GF bracelets (they fit on my wrist comfortably, if that makes sense) and I think this case and lug design needs an original bracelet, doesn't work so well for me on a strap.
