Does anyone know how i can get the 5 link bracelet from tudor?
Tudor doesn't seem to sell bracelets separately. You can only buy it if you have the matching watch.
Neither the salesman at Harrods nor the dealer I trust would/could sell me the five-link bracelet.
I definitely don't want to buy a black bay burgundy just for the bracelet. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone personally who wants the watch with the rubber strap and will buy a bracelet for me (which he will then sell on to me).
Does anyone have an idea how I can get the new bracelet?

Uncle Seiko's option looks nice. Might not be direct from Tudor but I've always been impressed with what you get for the price.
There are some on eBay brand new thru dealers, genuine too, but blooming expensive!
Not helpful but I have the same problem with a Hamilton strap so sharing your pain, good luck 🤝
Sadly, I cant help you out on this one, but I can congratulate you on the cover photo! Very creative!😁

Ha! Great minds think alike, I was just going to post this 👍

Uncle Seiko also has one for the khaki field if that's the one you are having issues with FYI.
This pic is from AliExpress. I would see what Marc has. He has suddenly gotten very big into bracelets.

Unfortunately no, it’s this 👇

Thank you for the alternatives but I am looking for a way to purchase the original Tudor strap.

Thank you, then I'll have a look around there.
I dont know if this will be helpful, but I have a Pagani Design bracelet on my San Martin and it fits really well. Its very good quality to be honest I was quite surprised, solid end links and screw pins. Purchased through Ali Express think it was about £30 . You can also buy separate unbranded clasps.
I’ve owned both the forstener and the Tudor 5 link . The Tudor is so much better… sorry I’m no help but here are photos lol

Have you tried looking at either of these places?

Surely there is non branded one. From experience good non branded ones are equally as good as the ones put on expensive watches.

I’ll have a look. Thank you 👍
There are videos on YT too to show how it can be done with Uncle Seiko.
Are you sure the bracelet even fits your watch? The new model is with a redesigned case which is not the same as the one you have. Might save you a headache 😉
The dealer checked with Tudor and they said it fits but they don't sell bracelets if you don't have the right watch model. 😕
Hve you checcked with your AD to enquire about getting a bracelet? That would be my first step.
Shure. It was my first step.
Me - picks up phone, googles Tudor 5 link bracelet, phones dealer "hello, do you have the tudor 5 link bracelet? You do! Great, heres my card details".
Or something like that 🤣🤣🤣
Im gonna try that :-P
Thank you all for your constructive support. I'll keep at it and try to get the original five link bracelet. 💪

You were right.
Although some dealers have told me that it would fit, it doesn't.
The new and old models have a different lugwith.

Your suggestion really worked! 🍻
A recap at the end:
Thank you all for the great support.
I found a dealer who will sell me one, but it turns out that the bracelet doesn't fit. The new model and the old model have different lugwith.

See,,,fck Google, ask me 😏
That’s a very good point I have asked the same question and no response from anyone as well hmmm…!!🤔

I would like to test whether the steel bracelet fits but no dealer will let me test it. Presumably because scratches could occur, so I can understand why.
The stupid thing about the old steel bracelet is that the buckle (on the inside) is much too big.
The lug width appears to be the same at 22mm. i found this article by everest and they make bands for a living:

Thank you for the information. You could be right.
It's a shame that you can't test such things to see if they fit. I'm surprised that nobody has tried this yet. At least I can't find any information about it.
Yeah some say that the 41mm smooth bezel black bay bracelet fits the GMT perfectly. Whereas the one from the 41 red burgundy doesnt quite fit and requires the use of the GMT end links. Check this video I found on youtube, one of the very few: https://youtube.com/shorts/3gIwUTr7iDU?si=iYFSlZ8zgE7yO6nS
Although I don’t see how the smooth bezel black bay with its thinner case size would have a better fitting bracelet?

Many thanks for the hint. Perhaps the GMT end links could fit the "old" Black Bay. However, it would probably look a bit strange. I'll probably have to try to meet someone with the 5-link bracelet and see if it fits my watch.
This is probably the only way to find out whether the 5-link bracelet fits or not.
Alternatively, I would have to see if I can buy the GMT end links and the 5-link bracelet.
