Do you know about good steel bracelet for this watch ?
Hello,
I have a longines hydroconquest and to tell you the truth, I don't like the bracelet at all.
Does anyone know of a good steel strap that fits the 39mm model ?
I currently wear my watch on a leather strap, but would still prefer a steel.
Thank you in advance for your advice

I'm a young watch enthusiast and still learning what's my taste. I don't care about the price of the watch as much as I care about the quality and workmanship 💫

Try Miltat
With a 19mm lug width that's gonna be tough.
I'd recommend straight end brackets from Forstner, but I do not believe they have 19mm variants.
Maybe eBay?

I will try to have look on Ebay but to be honest I’m not big fan of straight link

I will have a look
Does it have to be steel? I'm sure Longines do a rubber and leather for that range?
Back when I used to have a Hydroconquest I liked it a lot on the original rubber strap.
Although it’s not a Metal bracelet, maybe you give that one a try?
Strapcode has dozens of designs they may be listed for other watches but on several occasions I’ve be able to find one that’s worked for me

Rog.
Biggest problem I see is with the odd lug width, it's gonna be buy to try and hope it fits the case.
Aahh it is a pain in the ... Anyways, i've found a few curved jubilee adaptors on ebay but didnt give them a try yet. So far, having a thick polished Miltat milanese bracelet is not the worst. Actually much better than the original. And i believe it can look even better with the hydro version👍🏻👍🏻

Agreed, I found the rubber strap on my grey one extremely comfortable.

Mesh one doesn’t look bad at all 💫 please let me know if the end links you bought fit, thank you
Quality watch deserves a quality strap - I'd recommend Artem Sailcloth or Staib mesh. Both available in 19mm lug widths (got both) .

if i will, i'm still unsure about just giving 25~€ to end links and find a proper one to match with those most probably will cost above 50~... If i will i let you know 😉

It is usually a matter of finding the one that’s as close as possible and making a few adjustments My case there is a watch store that carries them and I was able to bring my watch with me to try a couple to see which one was closest

Great idea, I already ordered some cheap one from eBay to tested it out. But I will also visit some stores if it’s not fit
