Hi guys,
Like many of you I am eagerly anticipating a Vortex metal bracelet option, and am currently very satisfied with my Benarus Bead Blast Mesh on my original Vortex. Thankfully Anders recently posted on azpops thread about metal band experimentation that a metal option will be coming soon.

Although I don't even know if I could afford a Vortex professional or I will ever own one (even though it's on the list now!). I'd like this metal band to be interchangeable between the Ti finish of the original Vortex and the black matte of the professional. My question to you is what finish of a bracelet would work well with both models?

I suspect that the one Anders is alluding to will be geared more universally to match the Vortex, Reaper, and now Professional in order to make production financially viable/feasible. So what be your guesses and your preferences? Or if Anders does both finishes on bracelets and they are affordable enough...just buy both right. HAHA

Just my opinion but it will be quite difficult to produce a generic bracelet that will perfectly match the ti color and the black finish of the Vortex Pro. Unless a ti bracelet is made with black inner links or vise versa is made, it would be hard to commercially market. Best you get a ti AND a black one separately. Just my opinion....

you(OP) are just speculating at this time and since the non leather strap is already in production I suggest everyone sit back and wait to see the final product,which could be many mos. away.
...the original Ti Vortex has sold hundreds and the new black plasma coated version has just been released....soooo ,why would you think a black version would come before the Ti especially since the hardened black finish Ti of the Vortex Pro costs much more to produce...?

Also I believe Anders said the Professional would be a "limited" release, but I don't recall seeing what the number would be. Would be helpful to know, (ie: Benarus closed the 3 hand ti47 pre-order @ 30, before I got off the fence)

The non-leather integrated strap will suitable for both the Vortex and Vortex Professional.

As for the quantity of the Vortex Professional, we are limiting it to 150-200pieces per year. It might sound a lot, but if you average it out, it is only 15 pieces of Vortex Professional per month. And we have 9 distributors internationally.

So grab yours when it is still available peeps.

Sincerely
Anders
