FYI - I saw the new CrPO and the bracelet looks pretty darn amazing (to my uninitiated eyes).

I checked with Toro and it looks like the bracelet from the CrPO 1:1 will be available, after Chinese New Year passes in a couple of weeks. Pricing sounds like it'll be pretty reasonable. I know it's not quite the solution you're looking for, but it's a pretty decent option that I'll be going with after my LM PO arrives =)

Got QC pics for my LM from TD. I asked about the bracelet problem thingy, he said no problem at all. Attached to the lug nicely.

But doesn't look right to me. Pls advise.

This watch has the same problem.

The 5GPO has the same problem, just a little less... It can be solved with the sel replacement as someone sugested, BUT the LM PO is not the same bracelet is it?

I bought a mint Gen bracelet on Ebay for $350. It was worth every penny. Besides, you can always flip it later and not loose money. ;)

You are really lucky, each time I check there is one for like 900 dollars... Too much for my 4813 powered PO...

If I were to buy Gen endlinks, would that fix the problem? I noticed this with my PO.

If its not the ceramic version, the Gen SEL's would fix the problem I guess. .. never tried it as my watch is not worth it, but, I'm pretty happy with it...
Take in count that the SELs cost 120 plus shipping...

This appears to be a manufacturing issue, not a QC issue so nothing the TD can do about it. Accept it as part of the watch, or don't buy it. Simples.

Agree with Bonesey, it is across the board on all the models so no point asking for another, you will just get the same thing.

TBh, this can be more or less of an issue depending on how the watch sits on your wrist, thinner wrist and the bracelet edges go straight down making the gap more apparent, wider wrist and the bracelet curves more and that gap is much less.
It is also similar to the way the end fits on the CPO, although not as pronounced, but the 2nd link is very chunky and there will be an unusual gap if the bracelet edges fit straight down on the wrist.

Is it better to replace the bracelet with the bracelet from the ceramic po or the V5 po ?
