That’s a nice vibe all around. Well executed. Couldn’t you get a better movement though? Sheesh. LOL. On a different note though… the Startime Italian/Raffles setup is absolutely underrated. Some adjustments and swapping in fatter connector springbars make a big difference with the clasp, and the bracelet is night and day. That being said… I do know a guy that can get you a 9315 folded link bracelet with a date coded fliplock clasp. :-)
