As well as for any other Vintage JLC Diver watches...
Yes, I'm starting to think like you, even if I'm not very keen on the aesthetic of the Gay Freres Bracelets; it would have been great to have the possibility to get a bracelet option.
The main issue is that the price of the watch should have increased, too, around 1 000 Euros more!
I'm waiting for the other strap solution, which seems to be late, like Santa...
Best,
Nicolas.
