the Raven is very cool...and for those who were wondering why it seemed to play larger on Steves wrist,it's because the watch is actually 43mm,and had nothing to do with Steves bony wrist!...this works even better imho! |

#17 Q and D on the run....This one is perfectly executed in every way. Raven was after a vintage look and feel and they hit a home run. Yes fit and finish and materials used are modern, but the way the watch feels on, gives it an old world charm..if that makes any sense. I guess the term would be period correct |

Agreed TD ,More attributes incl, but not limited too smooth crown,engages n2 all the psitions as expected , bezel ratchet is perfect incl'n the lining up of markers, the added little touches IE the red depth writing the gold hands give it that Vintage vibe, along w/ the acrylic domed crystal & that bracelet is very different but way cool.. ALL IN ALL HOMERUN PIECE I of course immediately swaped out the bracelet for my BB Glove strap that has red& gold stitching..Your thoughts  Last edited on Fri Mar 2nd, 2012 05:52 pm by watchdaddy1 |

Darn! That Raven is awesome and I envy you all. It will take some time for mine to arrive. Now that I know it's a 43, I like it even better. William....I have the same view as Tony D....the glove leather strap doesn't work on the Raven. |

Hello folks. Just ordered mine and I can't wait. I'll post pics when I get. Do I need loctite for the bracelet when I size? |

It look like the bracelet links are held together by a screw system no? |

Number #91 in the house. But i really need help sizing the bracelet. It looks like only the top lugbar/screw is used to take links out. But i only have 1 screwdriver. thus the other side spins while i twist on the other. Can someone recommend a tool kit where i can do this without any risk of scratching the bracelet? thanks. loving it. Attachment: Raven.JPG (Downloaded 169 times) |

I finally got it. Whew. this bracelet is a 9/10. the rivets are def smokin hot and a throwback to the Rolex 6538 from 1950s. The only negative for me is that the end links are not perfectly flush/same shape as the lugs. hardly noticeable though. And half links would have been an elegant touch. |

Interesting one, Freight Dog.....but I'll get used to it. |

Yeah, it's not an intuitive selection. A little dressed down from the bracelet, but classier than the Nato or Pseudo-Iso. It is a gorgeous leather and a little more creative than black, IMO. I tried a dark brown but this makes a more bold statement. |
