Okay, okay....

Well, _I've_ never seen an aftermarket bracelet like the SMP's. (I suppose that's the bracelet you're referring to...)

The style and weight of the bracelet itself makes it unlikely (in my opinion) that anyone would try too hard to duplicate it for aftermarket sales. Most aftermarket bracelets are mass produced, stamped metal that looks like the original only at a quick glance. In fact, if you run through the rogues gallery, you'll see that many of the cheap fakes aren't even putting the effort into duplicating the bracelet. Heck, Invicta doesn't do it justice... (see Derek's post 27 Feb).

I suspect that, if you're absolutely set on that particular style of bracelet, you may either need to buy a SMP, an original bracelet that someone has taken off (for whatever reason), or (and I know I'll get flack for this one...) a good fake Omega from New York, Hong Kong, or wherever they come from.

Hope this answers your query.

:)
