Welcome to the forum @Ges!
The more people who message Uncle Straps directly asking for a Gay Freres style double grain BoR bracelet, the better chance we have of building a case.
However, my Forstner BoR bracelet arrived today. I'm pretty happy with it. Gives a vintage vibe and seems well made.
I've put it on my Carrera Dato for now.
I also think it will look great on the Panda. Placed it over the OEM rally strap to give an idea of how it will look.

G GesI asked Uncle Straps directly but seems we are the only ones so far. It seems he has a lot of other work at the moment so ….
So is there a reason nobody's reaching out to lobtime to create a bracelet? They have bracelets with endlinks that fit the older ones, while no one else does it seems.
Well I gave it a go for you guys, but unfortunately it didn't quite work. The best finished and most comfortable BoR bracelet I've ever seen is on my Grand Seiko SBGW235. It's close. Really close! Amazing fit, just the spring bar holes that are slightly in the wrong place on the Carrera. Curved spring bars might work, but possibly not. Shame, as this is a bracelet that I feel would be up to the quality of the Carrera.
I think a bracelet without endlinks looks better on the Carrera. More of a fancy look and brings out those sexy lugs.
