Just received the bracelet and fitted it. What a PITA to get the first set of screws to budge when re-sizing!!



A little loctite had obviously been used during assembly and that didn't help my cause one bit. After an hour of carefully struggling (thank goodness I bought the hobby vice the other day) I got it sorted and must admit to quite liking it. It's a totally different look and feel to the Ted Su (which is still my personal favourite) but it's pretty comfy. The 26mm or 24mm Ted Su's hold the watch in place better, however, and the buckle just seems to give it a balance on the wrist that neither the leather strap nor the bracelet quite manage. I'm going to keep it on the bracelet for a while, though, as I have some meetings in London tomorrow and need to be a bit more formal.. I have a feeling it will be back on the 26mm Ted Su sooner or later, though..

Yeah. I put a tiny bit on the screws as I put them back in the bracelet. Gotta be honest, though: already changed back to the Ted Su. London tomorrow will have to deal with my horologically wayward style. :P
