Gold bracelet
Hi:
Thank you for your reply.
There was a matching gold bracelet available from Blancpain at the time of my original watch purchase, however, the price was prohibitive (in the range of 19-20k ... way more than the watch itself) and for that reason I rejected the idea. I have since found it almost impossible to keep up with the need to replace the expensive leather bands (delpoyant clasp version) due to sweat saturation and resultant breakdown of the leather. I have therefore decided that in order to continue to wear the watch it needs a matching gold bracelet. If I cannot accomplish that goal I will be forced to leave the watch in my vault or sell it and go back to wearing the ubiquitous, old Rolex.
I did contact Blancpain directly but they seem to have misunderstood my request and rather than informing me of the availability of the bracelet or lack thereof, they simply sent me a listing of all of their US dealers along with a note indicating that they cannot sell direct.
I have seen several watches of the same model shown in white gold with the bracelet on various internet sites but nothing in yellow gold.
Well, in the final analysis, I may have to chuck the idea of wearing the Blancpain.
Sorry for the lengthy diatribe.
