    Hey guys,

    I currently acquired a vintage DOXA Sub 300t US Divers but unfortunately it did't came with its original bracelet. So i am using it with some nato straps but I really want the vintage one or an alternative one. As I was searching it beacame that those bracelets are quite rare to find. So I started searching the DOXA website for an alternative but I am not quite sure whether it would fit. Maybe a 1200t one could be a good solution? Do you have any suggestions?

    Q. Can I get a replacement bracelet for my vintage Doxa?
    A. Unfortunately, original bracelets are not available, however, Doxa have designed a new one in the style of the original rice bead bracelet. It is 20mm Lug to fit the vintage SUB 250/300/450/500/600/750/1000 models, and should be available in July 2004.

    I have no idea if it works, but perhaps investigate the Rolex Jubilee bracelet. I think it would look great on your Doxa.

    The point is getting something really close to the original bracelet ! I can always buy a mesh bracelet or a jubilee one, but the thing is I really dig the beads of rice look. I don't want to buy a BOR bracelet and look like this example where the guy used a DOXA 750t BOR bracelet.
