My new PO from D4M

[MrYesterday]

This was cheap, and his sale pics were blurry, so I didn't expect much. I just wanted a beater on a half-ass decent bracelet. 4 days later postman knocks and drops this off. Thought I'd share.

Bracelet fits snug (I like em' loose ) But that's like Shaq complaining about normal people shoes. lol

The watch is heavy and has great detail for a cheap 21j rep.

The details may be way off, but I'll never be this close to a real PO to know, so "ignorance is bliss". I'm happy with my cheap reps, and very satisfied with this one.

I guess if I wanted it loose I could always let out the diver's extension.

Thanks D4M, what was once sitting on your watch bench ignored will be getting a lot of wrist time from me.

As always, sorry for the crappy iPhone pics, but the little lady won't let me touch the Nikon I bought her (I broke the last one).

Looking good mate. You can never go wrong with Greg. Wear it well!

 

[tommy_boy]

Good pickup. It's a classic!

Since it was Greg's sale, I was tempted myself, even though I'd already bought and sold one.

 

[Phil G]

Excellent buy...............enjoy :thumbsup:


Good luck, Phil

 

[rol_man]

Good choice and deal, can't go wrong with it!

 

[MrYesterday]

Thanks guys. I just need a couple of bracelet links, and a sapphire crystal and it'll be perfect

D4m is selling watches again????

PM me for some details. Thanks, Bruce

 

[MrYesterday]

He just had one laying around that he wasn't using. Lol

MrYesterday,

Nice pickup - love the POs, can't remember how many I've bought and sold, and then bought again!

I too understand the too snug syndrome! How many links do you need?

I have a couple 20mm wide (with a 10mm wide center section) and a single 1/2 length. My PO is a little snug too, let me resize it (right now) and see what I have left.

Measure your bracelet, and if it takes the 20mm wide (with a 10mm wide center section) style links, please PM me with your address and I'll ship whatever I have left over to you.

Merry Christmas

Just a note to KohanJJ: The watch in the picture appears to have flat links instead of the rounded ones like on some other POs. I have a couple extra links as well that I wouldn't mind to share, but mine are rounded and would probably make things worse instead of better.

Below is a picture for reference:

I see what you mean - more worrysome is the fact that it looks like the center link is centered on the two outer links (instead of the 'usual' 3/4 divide where most of the center link is staggered towards the case)

Here's a photo of what I have spare. MrYesterday, if they will work (which I doubt based on the lack of stagger), they're yours, just PM me with your address info.

I saw Fakey has some BNIB PO bracelets on sale for the 45.5 PO - think the cost was $40ish - dunno if they'd fit but that might be an option should you fail to find the correct links you need.

I appreciate all of the effort kohanjj, but I think I'm SOL for finding links for this. The bracelet has a 20/18 taper, and Fakey said none of the others have it. I think this is just an oddball, short run watch. Might just have to buy a standard 20/20 bracelet with the correct, engraved clasp after the holidays.
Thanks again. Nice to know there are good people around.

This is a PO from TS. The bracelets are identical. Just in case anyone has one, and doesn't need a couple links
