    I bought my first Lunar Pilot to commemorate a payload I worked on for NASA's CLPS program landing on the moon. I later found out that watch was counterfeit. Already stinging from the loss of money I found a good deal on a 96A225 and made peace with the fact that I wouldn't get to experience the LP on a bracelet (the scam bracelet didn't fit, I wasn't too ashamed to try). At least I had a genuine piece!
    I'm so thankful that you've lessened the sting of the scam *and* I'm glad, after years of enjoying your content here and with TGV, that I can support your business.

    I just put this bracelet on my original bead blasted strap version. I can’t believe I finally have a bracelet for this watch. I had tried many different bracelet configurations in the past. Oh boy, this bracelet is a game changer. It is a beautifully made bracelet and the fit and finish is absolutely perfect. Thank you Mark for taking on this project and delivering a great product.

    My wife gave one of these for Christmas, for my initial release LP. The quality is great. The end link fit is excellent and the fly adjust clasp is quite welcome.

    I got BRAC-106 for my ref. 96B258, and man I'm over the moon with this bracelet. I felt confident I'd like it when I ordered it, but it's such a big improvement in comfort, and it looks right on the watch. *IT'S HONESTLY SUCH A BIG SCORE!!!* I told myself the stock bracelet was okay, but it wasn't. Now I'm reaching for my Lunar Pilot all the time. Even if I reduce my collection down to 6 watches, the Lunar Pilot will still be included, because of this bracelet. *GET YOURS! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A LUNAR PILOT, GET ONE AND THEN GET ONE OF THESE BRACELETS. IF YOU NEED TO GAIN WEIGHT FOR THE WATCH TO FIT ON YOUR WRIST, EAT MORE. THIS IS FRIGGIN QUARTZ HEAVEN.*

    The 262k movement is fantastic, and at +/- 10 seconds per YEAR that's essentially perfect time keeping. My only watches that can top that must cheat by syncing to an atomic clock.
    If anyone is thinking of buying any Lunar Pilot that comes with a strap, a bracelet is a must upgrade. The watch heads are heavy in a way even some auto divers might not be. You want it balanced. For my black version bought a few years ago, I found an "engineer" style in matching brushed that pairs great IMO. It only has straight links because it's a generic bracelet but for me the "engineer" style suits this watch very well. Steal my idea but with matching end links for the PVD, Marc!

    Thx Mark, for making these bracelets. i got myself a blue Lunar since last week (what a piece!). Your bracelet looks like a nice upgrade, although I think the clasp is not the most elegant. It looks like you used the same one as San Martin does. I like how this clasp works, but it's a bit to bulky for me. Also, I'd love to see your logo on the clasp somewhere. A part from that the bracelet looks awesome.. I'll consider buying one. cheers x

    Thanks for doing this Marc! I can't buy one of your bracelets :-( as I live in South Africa, but I have a Gen 1 Lunar Pilot and have always hated the bracelet, so much that I wear the watch on a parachute strap. A commentator once said the Lunar Pilot looks like it was tossed together from the spares bin, and it does - but so was the original - but geez Bulova, a butterfly clasp? On a chrono tool watch that went to the moon? The strap doesn't even match the case at all! Great job Marc!

    I own a black dial Lunar Pilot date (the original series one on the bracelet that doesn't match either). Now while the tophat sapphire crystal is cool looking, it's trash for one reason: I only owned it for like 4 months and treated it very gently, when the crystal got a small crack on the edge which eventually turned into a larger chip out of it. I sent an email to Bulova and they said that repair to my 4 month old watch isn't covered under warranty for replacement but that I would have to not only buy a new crystal from them but the repair service wasn't covered either. It really left a sour taste in my mouth when the poor design for the watch's unprotected crystal edge invites such an accident to happen readily.

      @@islandwatch I've made peace with it now, but Bulova really ought to consider making the edge of the crystal just a little more curved if it's going to stick up so far for aesthetic purposes. I'm not sure how the newest ones look and although I've learned my lesson on buying another one, the all black case model and especially that meteorite dial one are REALLY making me reconsider my position on that lesson. But fool me twice; shame on me, after all.

    Awesome. The bracelet on the lunar pilot is my sticking point as to why I haven’t pulled the trigger on one? Any plans to make that clasp available on its own in different widths for other watches? Thanks (owner of a duro and SKX LIW bracelets)

    I tried a couple of them before, but they were all a bit too large for my taste, otherwise great watch.

    I like the aesthetic and spacing of the subdials, very similar to an Omega.
    Having said that, not a huge fan of the tophat crystal they're using, nor the dateless movements. Those are deal-breakers for me.
