Does anyone know if the Superocean Heritage Chronos can be worn on a Navi bracelet? If so, does anyone know the end links that would be required?

I have a SOHC LE, white dial, that I'd like to wear on Navi Bracelet but I don't know if it's possible.

I don't know what the mm width of the SOHC bracelet is, but I'm pretty sure if it's the same as the naive you're good. My navi world bracelet is 24mm.

SOHC is 24mm, the Navi World 24mm...

I'm looking at my World right now, and I'm just not sure it would fit together right. You have to look at the length of the lugs, the shape of the lugs vs the bracelet..etc.

If you try it, post pictures. I'd be interested in seeing it.

Its not nearly that simple. Lug width is only one factor. Curve of the lugs is hugely important, as is hole location for the springbar. If either of those are off even a bit, it probably wont fit.

That's exactly right which is why I'm trying to find out if there is a different pair of end links to fit the sohc case. Maybe I'll call busa on Monday and see if I can get some help.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

I would love to see the SOH/C on a Navi bracelet.

It would look stunning imo.

Nick.

No, the Navi World is the only Navi with 24mm lugs and as RJ said the curvature of the end links means that a decent fit is highly unlikely. The only bracelet that MAY be a genuine option is the Speed bracelet from the Bentley line. It's 24mm wide and has straight end links like the mesh bracelets. Hence it's probably got the best chance of fitting. No first hand proof to back that up mind.

I was thinking that the bentley speed bracelet would fit also. I prefer the 7 link look of the navi bracelet over the 5 link bentley speed bracelet but the navi may not be an option! Thanks.
