The case shape IS awsome

 

[Karbon74]

A bit overpolished on the lugs, too thin.
But the side profile

Man alive that's a good shot

 

[Ukrop]

Stunning!
Is that a Raffles riveted bracelet?

 

[Karbon74]

I bought this on M2M
supposed to be a viet bracelet 7206

It's pretty and nice. with the proper 7 holes on the clasp.

I have no idea how to adjust it apart from the micro adjusts on the clasp. Any clue? or is it just like this?

Probably be 2 piece friction fit rivets.

 

[Karbon74]

i think so too. any clue on how to know which end is the rivet? or do I just need to destroy the thing?

I guess just snip it. I saw replacements on Alix.

 

[Karbon74]

I have a box of them already

 

[Karbon74]

Looking at them, I think that another method would be to unfold the center pieces until the rivet comes out

Up to you. Personally I wouldn't.

Up to you. Personally I wouldn't.

I was reading around, and the link method is the one generally accepted, but a delicate touch is needed to avoid warping the thing

I've been watching that one to see if it goes. Price is crazy. It's interesting to see that the hour markers were stamped into the dial and filled with lume. (At least, I think that was the method, rather than a sandwich dial.)

Awesome piece of kit that, the baby bit freaked me out a bit though

In order to remove links you need to pry open the center links to remove the links . same as the folded oysters.

Thank you

It is a cartel bracelet that came on the early 6538 reps from Silix I believe

 

[Hayst]

Well...this seemed easy enough.

So now I am just wondering whether it will be my legs that drop off...or my arse.
