“This is the bracelet the lunar pilot should have come with. Fits perfectly and makes the watch much more enjoyable to wear. It's a premium feel and actually worth the cost!”
“I purchased this bracelet to replace the butterfly bracelet that comes with my Lunar Pilot. This bracelet, with it's on the fly adjustable clasp, improves my comfort throughout the day.
I miss not having the Bulova tuning fork in the bracelet, but the clasp is a nice canvas for me to get engraved with the family motto.
About the bracelet... a common observation is that the color doesn't match the watch. That's true. But the other bracelet is polished and the case is bead blasted. So it didn't match either. This bracelet is also bead blasted and is a good textural match for the case, however I will admit that the colors don't match exactly.
The solid end links fit well and the clasp is nicely milled, not pressed as I had feared. Some people have noticed that the end links don't extend as far as the lugs. That's true. But it means that the bracelet fits smaller wrists than if they extended as far as the lugs. I think it's a reasonable compromise.
All in all I think this is a good purchase and if you're ok with the color I think you'll be pleased with this bracelet.
Recommended.”
“The bracelet fits the Lunar Pilot perfectly but I was slightly disappointed that the bead blasted finish didn’t match the finish of the watch as well as I hoped.”
“The bracelet is really nice and designed well, but it looks a little wonky on the intended watch. I have had a Lunar Pilot, on the bracelet, for about 6 years now. This bracelet is a very good replacement for the one it comes on, but again, isn't quite a match. First, the Islander bracelet is very dark compared to the case of the LP in a way that is definitely noticeable. It looks almost like a brushed titanium, not brushed stainless. Second, the female endlinks fit perfectly against the case, but they aren't long enough to meet the end of the lug. It's short by a couple of mm, resulting in a noticeable overhang of the lug past the end link. Honestly, I'm glad I got it on sale because I would have returned it at full price. I'm hoping the finish dulls over time to better match the case.”
