Hey OF. So I picked up a Longines Bigeye and I really like it for what it is.

I worn it on straps and natos but I'm wondering if anyone has tried a bracelet for it?

Great watch! Hasn't it got an awkward lug width like 21mm? If so bracelet choices will be very limited.

Looks amazing on any strap I've seen it fitted to though.

Congrats on the purchase.

I could have sworn I saw one on you tube or something like that with a mesh on it. Looked great.

Find a nice BoR. If it is 21mm, find a 22mm and shave the ends to fit. Will look great!

Thanks Jeff! Straight end links i suppose?

@Tet Thanks Tet, I have taken notice of it when it was released 2 years back but i wasn't quite ready to get one just yet.

Fast forward, to a month ago, i found a local piece going for cheap so i had to pull the trigger on it.

@stevec14 not quite a fan of mesh but i think i look around still.

Here is a set off 22mm curved. Your watchmaker (or you) could shave these to 21mm. Add a BoR and your golden!

I also have an extra BoR bracelet if you buy these. Just DM me. Jeff

Yep that the one - thanks for that. I think it looks great. Did it actually come on a bracelet as he seems to have unboxed like that.

The lug width is 20 mm. (As far as I know)
So there should be many options out there.
In case of mesh braclets for example from Staib.

What about one of the Hadley Roma Jubillees? I have one on my Speedmaster and its a decent bit of kit for the price.

Mate has the diver and pretty sure it’s a 21mm also.

I've ordered this guy for my BigEye:

Uncle Seiko also sells a bracelet for the Legend Diver which might fit with different end links (the old has long lugs):
