Looking For Big Heavy Bracelet

Post by BruceR »

I'm looking for a thick, heavy, bracelet to go with this gun metal Favre Leuba Raider Harpoon. It's a beast. On leather this checks in at 186g. For some reason I want this to be a super heavy package, hence the heavy bracelet. Anyway, 24mm, and either black, gray, or gun metal, possibly brushed or bead-blasted steel.

I did buy what was supposed to be a 126g anthracite bracelet from watch-band-center.com but it was thinner and cheaper feeling than what I expected and weighed only 106g. Big disappointment.

I ended up ordering a black 24mm from Ali Express. The seller included a pic of the band on a scale: 174g. That's heavy. That's probably for the 26mm one so the one I ordered will be a bit lighter. I suspect the quality won't be great.

Excited to see this bad boy all put together. My wrist hurts just thinking about it. :lol:
I wish that watch were 38mm?
