After 2 months of use, I review the beads of rice bracelet that I had previously been looking for for ages! One that would fit a small wrist!

I love how straight end links look. It looks like it came with your watch

Nice, thorough review. Though stamped, still looks like great quality and comfort. Also: I’d recommend investing in the Bergeon 1.60mm screwdriver. It cost $25 but it is a breeze. Keeping your support finger tight along the screwdriver head helps a lot too.

Thanks for watching and for the advice my friend. I'm long overdue for a set of Bergeon tools. Soon 😄

I installed this 19mm bracelet on a vintage Omega Constellation. It's VERY comfortable and easy enough to remove a few links. Looks stunning!

I think I’m weird but I actually prefer straight edge fitting on retro style bracelets

Yes, this watch is a keeper. I like the bracelet. I don't mine the stamp clasp. I have many vintage bracelets which have stamp clasp, and, it's very comfortable.

Absolutely. that's a huge benefit of a stamped clasp. Good comfort 😊

So glad I came across your channel. Great vids 👍 recently ordered the forstner beads bracelet for my Tudor 58 - not sure if it’s a good match.

If you haven’t, try 1.8 mm spring bars

The friction fit closure looks like a tight fit . Not easy to open and close.

Great review my friend, it’s a sólido bracelet. BUT: I think i prefer the GS more on a strap, i might like the bracelet there more on a diver. As well here a happy new year to you🙏🏻

I agree haha it is much better on a strap but I do like the look and the option to put it on this bracelet 😉 Thanks for watching my friend!

It really is! 9R31 manual wound Spring Drive. It's a bit messy but quite beautiful in its own way 😀

Think need correct spring bars as small can make lug holes big

Thanks for the great review. Quick question: what is the lug width on your Grand Seiko watch? I'm guessing 20mm?

Would thicker spring bars solve the play problem on the end links?
@engineer_wannabe
@engineer_wannabe 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, it probably would to a certain extent. I use the thickest bars I have (1.8mm) but I get still get some play
