Totally appreciate it! Man, thanks for stopping by!

@@ADudeAndHisWatches i appreciate the knowledge. I ordered a 1958 omega seamaster awhile back and wanted a period correct band. after buying it and painfully waiting on it to arrive it showed today lol, got it on now and it is every bit as good as you said. Thanks!

@@dudebroski9460 I'm jealous! That has got to be great! Seriously love Omega...not so much some of their newest releases, but the old seamasters are awesome. :)

@@ADudeAndHisWatches yeah i dont really buy anything that isnt an automatic, i just love how the movements work and look. I had a rolex datejust for years but got married, and divorced lol. Recently i got back to good enough status that i felt like i deserved a nice watch again. Im a blue collar oil feild guy, and i cant help i have good taste, but i generally only have a few watches ever, maybe a beater that i dont really beat on and an everyday watch. I have a time based job and i think that wearing a good time peice shows that i take being on time seriously. Its a statement that usually only connects with the higher ups but has served me well. This seamaster is awesome, but only wearing it till the tan line shows where it goes will tell the truth.

Those bracelets really are the best! And that is a great watch!!

I love that hat! Kind of worn out now, I guess I need to replace it...Since I just moved to Pennsylvania, I should probably get a Pirate's hat...Or maybe a Nittany Lion hat :) You are totally welcome! and thanks for stopping by!

They are great, aren't they?!

The amount of class and character in my opinion is off the charts. Right now I'm wearing the Citizen Promaster diver with an oyster style bracelet. I like it better then the rubber strap that it came with. I'm giving serious thoughts about trying to find a vintage BOR bracelet similar to yours....

@@kenamaro3942 I'm selling mine for $200 if you are interested :)

Thanks so much for the information! I need to look into Montal.

I bet that was a little scary bending them out! How did you go about doing that? Be good to know if you have a good method :) Well done scoring one! The two-tone version Seiko is pretty sexy...hope to get one at some point. :)

HoWilbur HoWilbur I actually used one of my broken spring bar tools! The side of the spring bar tool used for pin punching broke off so that end is left with a thicker part. I put that end under the c shaped beads and basically just bent them up enough to detach from the pins they were attached to. The little beads can bend back into shape to resize it! Not sure if I did it the right way as it took me 40 minutes and a lot of patience. Definitely not something I want to do again!

Thanks for the tip! It is good to know it can be done if you absolutely need to!

Hi, thanks!! You know, I don't think there is any way to shorten these guys...At least I can't see any way to do that on mine. Unfortunately, mine is too short...Not sure how you could lengthen one either :)

Yeah, can be sometimes...Always hope to stumble on a deal :)

Thanks! As you can tell, I have no instinct for how to pronounce French words ;)
