Re: "Oyster" style bracelet in US?
In Response To: "Oyster" style bracelet in US? ()

I'm not realy sure what you mean by the "oyster style" bracelet, Jason. The oyster bracelet is a design used on Rolex watches. It's considered by many people on this forum to be inferior to the Omega bracelets (the oyster bracelet is made up of hollow, rolled metal links, with only the end links being solid; Omega bracelets have all solid links, making for a much more substantial feeling bracelet, also balancing the heft of the dive watches better). To my knowledge, the SMPs only come with the traditional "basketweave" bracelets, in the US. You can, however, special order an SMP with the newer "Speedmaster"style bracelet thru any authorized dealer in the US, or buy out of country (the speedmaster-style bracelets are standard in some other countries). Hope this helps.
