Just curious if the brushed bracelet off the SW or SF will fit?

I'd like to dress the watch down a bit. The bezel is brushed, so it would match decently. I don't want to brush the orginal bracelet or case..

Anyone try this?

You will need to order endlinks that fit the Seawolf and based on my recent experience end links are close to $200. Also BUSA had to order mine from Switzerland. I doubt you will be able to get brushed end links that fit. Not sure though.

I know both the Steelfish and Airwolf use the Pro II bracelets, but I don't think the endlinks are easily removable from bracelets.

But either way, even if it did work, I think a brushed bracelet with polished end-links and a polished case would look a little odd IMO.

Agree with the second sentance but not the first. The only thing that holds the Pro II endlink in place is the spring bar. Either remove it or it falls out on it's own. Trying to remember when I had a Navi, seems the endlinks on the Navi bracelet are fixed. Not sure.

Cheers Sharkman - I wasn't absolutely 100% about the endlinks being fixed on the Steelfish bracelet as I've long since sold my 'Fishes. (Mind you I've had 3 of the darn things over the years, so my memory really should be a bit better! :oops: I put it down to age! :lol: )

Although it doesn't appear so, the Airwolf case is slightly curved between the lugs. The SF and SW have flat surfaces on the case where the end link matches up. You would have to modify the endlink by using a pencil-grinder to add a little bow to it...

A lot of work for a little change.
