AP Bracelets Styles
Hey all,I've been looking to get a AP Dual Time 26120ST and noticed that there are 2 different types of bracelets - One with the AP logo and the other style with the full name, reference pics attached.

The dates of the booklets are 2 years earlier than the calendar cards, is that normal? The clasp is 2 years younger than the watch, but taking

Replacing a bracelet
I was just wondering if there are places to buy the new style oyster bracelet for submariners as a replacement if they were to break or be too worn down, or if the service centres can do them. Thanks.
