Thinking aloud, one reason might be that straps are generally treated as "wear" items that eventually have to be replaced/disposed, while a good bracelet lasts as long as the watch and is serviceable. Regards, skyeriding

Bracelet Fun

 
 By: CR : June 2nd, 2022-14:35
Many of us (myself included) don't hesitate to put aftermarket, non-OEM straps on our watches. However, we're more cautious about doing this very same thing with bracelets. That's interesting to me. I started thinking about this in 2018, after putting an ...  

I think this looks fantastic!

Lange offers too little options for such accessories....

Great!

That bracelet looks great on your Lange 1. And very informative comparison with the plat. I never get tired of my Shinola on the plat. dato., especially during the hot summer months. And thanks for your mention.

Thanks nice2guy

For your discovery of this bracelet for us! Following your steps I've bought it for my plat Dato 1st gen and it suited so well that i went and bought another one for my L1 in WG. Thanks so much for sharing this discovery!

Thanks Smironov

Thanks for the post CFR

And also thanks to nice2guy for this great find! I see you put it on your wg L1 and a question came to mind. I am thinking of using one interchangeably between pt and wg langes. Do you think the stainless steel might cause harm to the inside of the lugs c... 

Thanks so much for the kind words, Walid.

A bracelet is indeed a fine thing to wear in this hot weather! The watch case in the pic is platinum, not WG. I haven't tried it on a WG case. I considered possible lug damage and decided that I couldn't let that deter me. I like the look too much. I figu... 

Thanks!

You and nice2guy have definitely pushed me over the edge! Will place it on mine and report back with pics. Must say I am quite impressed by the quality of the Shinola bracelet and the team at the Tribeca store are quite fun and extremely helpful - well wo... 

You're totally correct!

All the pics of the MOP guilloche dial that I posted previously were of a 110.030. This one is a 110.037. There's room for both I too am really, really impressed by the Shinola bracelet quality. I bought an extra because they're so cheap, and I knew I'd f... 

There is always room for more!

 
 By: walidk : August 12th, 2022-17:03
I am quite happy with the Shinola bracelet now that you and Nice2Guy allayed my concerns. What are watches if we can’t enjoy them! Currently on the wrist: And why not be a bit playful 😉 (from earlier in the day): All the best, Walid ...  

Bracelet for Langematic Pt with 19mm lugs

 
 By: smironov : August 25th, 2022-17:18
Dear CR and other Lange afficionados, would you have any suggestion for a good SS bracelet for my Langematic Pt? Unfortunately it has 19mm lugs, otherwise I would just use this Shinola. And no, Shinola doesn't make 19mm bracelets. Thanks in advance.

One idea...

 
 By: CR : August 26th, 2022-04:49
See this thread . Strapcode makes 19mm bracelets. I don't love the look of the clasps though.

Hi CR, thanks for the suggestion, but these clasps are from another world from Lange, in my opinion. Pity Shinola doesn't have 19mm bracelets, they are sooo good imho

This one looks interesting, but no idea who makes it
