Based on guru's advice, I bought a steel/ceramic bracelet for my HBB. I received it today and guru won't sleep unless I post some pics... So here they are. Just some quick shots, nothing fancy, sorry... The bracelet changes the look and feel of the watch dramatically. It wears comfortably and it's not too heavy. It feels quite smooth too. A beutiful and comfortable alternative to rubber straps.

Very nice Roo! I love it! @ 007, Guru will never sleep unless Roo finishes the mods on this watch. Taka's crystal, date wheel. You know the drill. :)

I think between you and Guru, you have convinced me. HBB all the way!
Very nice compliment to the watch that new bracelet. Very nice indeed!

LOL, so true!! I do already have an upgraded crystal, though I have to say, I don't think it makes a huge difference on this model... This rep has by far the best AR I have seen straight out of the box. I'd say it even beats the latest Breitlings, which have always impressed me. As for the DW, I'll definitely consider one when Taka releases it, along with a lume job (it's hands only, so it's simple). That's about it on this baby... and the solid caseback saves me a lot of trouble.

I told you, solid caseback is nice, anyhow, you know who did the swapp in my HBB.
And I agree, lume is easy, I could do it myself.
I am so happy for you that this project worked out for you.

BTW, will close my eays now and dream about my next HBB
And tomorrow my Big King will arrive , returning from the watch doc

Very nice. I once did a photoshop mock-up for guru with this bracelet but it is much nicer in reality. I think I need to get one, too ...
