Hey guy's....

From what I can tell the sub and deepsea bracelet are pretty big tells regarding the link screws and them going all the way through...

Is there a source for a 1:1 bracelet?

Also when straightening the bracelet with clasp locked on the links bow in slightly vs gen that are dead straight...

I'm looking to build a super rep and can't really afford to add a gen bracelet to the list of already gen parts!

They're going all the way through?? :lamo2:Even the gen 's screws are going all the way through the link my friend,look closer to gens...

The only issue with the new sub c bracelet from j12 and somes noobs are that they have 4 fixed link where the gen has only 3! (but the noob deep sea has 3 fixed link as per gen)

For your other question, just buy a gen clasp if you don't like this one because you won't find any better than the noob's..

When you resized your bracelet is it possible that you put the longer screws that are supposed to go into the larger links into the smaller links at the bottom of the bracelet closer to the clasp? I've accidentally done that before, then you have screws sticking out on the lower links because they are supposed to be in the larger upper links.

Good point, but i don't think that's what he is talking about, more like he thinks the screws can't be seen on the other side of the link..

Oh, ok. I thought he meant they were sticking out too far. I've done that before where I put the long screws in the short links and they stick out.

I don't think FrankieO ever had a gen in hands according to his questions.. And the fact that he never replied to his thread prooves it! ;)

Yah, I'd say this must be one hell of a cheap canal street special because even my 200 dollar lucy special has link screws that are just perfect.
