I love the Batman but the rep insert always turned me off. Yours with the gen bezel and other gen parts is so awesome. Congratulations.

Stunning piece bro! What factory did the SEL's come from? That bracelet puller is sure coming in handy!
Well done.

They were actually two tone end links lol. From my gmf root beer. But since I’m building it as a franken I will eventually go gen bracelet.

i took them and sanded off the gold and than did a repolish. The links mate up to a arf bracelet.

I would honestly tell anyone who is looking at buying a wrapped gold bracelet, your not going to rub through it with normal wear. It took a brushing wheel and pressure to get it off. If they could figure out how to wrap the side of the links it would be fantastic.

I would also note that the GMF bracelet is high quality, and the internal working is like a ARF. I will probably remove all the gold one day and make a nice spare bracelet. I been doing a full conversion to all bracelets. Its takes sooooo much time to get one feeling right. Haha master of nothing, just a guy who wants to figure out how stuff works, and if can be made better :)
