Bracelet Swap Question

Post by Dynamite_Kid19 »

Would a 22mm C65 MK2 bracelet fit the MK2 43mm C60 Trident? I prefer the all brushed of the C65 vs. the PCL of the C60 stock from the old MK2.

No, unfortunately a C65 bracelet won't fit a C60 Mk2. Even though they are both 22mm, the lug holes are in different places and the shapes of the two cases are different.

If the PCLs on the C60 bracelet are the problem, then it's a relatively simple task to brush them to removed the polished look. There are several threads on the forum about people doing this. You just need some masking tape and a nylon brush pad that can be cheaply bought on Amazon or eBay.

It's much more work to change brushed links back to polished though!

^^^^ I agree with you Steve but it depends on one's understanding of D_K19's information of 'C65 Mk2'.

You are, I presume, thinking he means a C65 Trident Diver / Automatic / GMT / Super Compressor.

However, what if D_K19 is referring to a C65 Trident Classic Mk II Automatic? If he is, then I believe the answer will be yes, a bracelet for this watch will fit a "MK2 43mm C60 Trident", as they use the same case.

I think we need some clarification from D_K19. :-k :-k
