Folks, I realize this is weirdly specific but where else would I ask? I own two B&Rs, BR V2-93 GMT and BR V2-92. The 92 came with a bracelet and 93 came on leather with deployant. I would like to move the bracelet from 92 to 93 but because of the slightly thicker case, the endlinks do not fit. I can probably force the issue but it will be a pain to get back out and will not look right.

So I am thinking just the endlinks are different, because the bracelet looks identical otherwise. Who can point me to a proper part number and maybe a place to purchase these endlinks for BR V2-93 GMT?

As always, thanks in advance! The hive mind rulez!

I think the only way you're going to figure that out is by going through an AD. Hopefully you purchased yours through an AD who will take the time to figure out how to get you some. They likely have never been asked this question before.

If it makes you feel any better, I have both the bracelet and rubber strap for my V2-93 GMT and I only wear it on the rubber. But for the hopefully cheap price of under $100 for end links I would do the same as you.

May I ask if you paid full price for the gmt? They both look great. Hope you find the solution you're looking for

Full price is kinda high for the GMT. Or any Bell&Ross, in my opinion

good to know, i see it on chrono24 USA gray dealers for less, not sure what the AD would charge. Only one in CT has it. I was hoping to try one on at WoS in NYC recently but they didn't have it. I'm really hoping to buy the blue model this year! Your strap looks awesome on the gmt model.

As a point of reference, I purchased my GMT (black) on a bracelet in June and the AD gave me around 12-15% off and a free rubber strap. They had to order it because they only had the strap version in the store. At the time, Joma had it for 30% off.

Great to know, the only AD in connecticut for BR is Manfredi which is in the richest area of the state, im younger so hopefully they still give me the time of day.

It's a surprise that they don't fit, you'd think that the lugs would be more or less the same even if the GMT's case dimensions are slightly thicker to accommodate the additional GMT hand and movement works.

FWIW with the older Vintage range (123 and 123 GMT) you could just about make the endlinks fit with thinner spring bars, even though lug dimensions appeared identical. Not an ideal solution however!

As I recall, B&R sells the bracelet together only with endlinks. Rather than shelling out for the whole bracelet, go into a retailer or boutique with the GMT, the bracelet only, and without the endlinks. Tell them you want to put the bracelet back on, but have lost the endlinks (which are captive, and detach when you remove the spring bars). They might sell you the endlinks separately that way.
