Duh.
You wear it and you stretch it

😅
That's probably the easiest method - but I have so many watches and only two arms - plus I'm not the youngest anymore. By the time I get that much wear on my bracelets, I'll be two meters deeper in the ground. Okay, maybe that also helps to make the watches look a bit more vintage ... 😅
rep folded oyster it is almost 10 years old but they just look vintage and janky. thats why I like um
You can't get these folded oysters from raffles or any of the other usual sellers, can you? There was a thread about it somewhere here, but when I read it at the time, I still thought the solid bracelets were the ultimate. I never thought I'd be interested in them.
I'll have to keep an eye on the m2m section - but they'll probably be gone quickly, if they appear there at all ...

For the more expirienced Members here. I want to sell a 1016 Build but I think i cannot afford the Patron fee right now (For the collectors corner). Can i put it (after certification) in the normal sales section when im not adding anny costs for work? I have my eyes on a gen :rolleyes:

Yes you can.
How much did you hope to charge for work?

As per the rules i did not want to make a big profit out of it but i think i shaped the case nicely and i also made my own bezels (including CAD work )so 100€ max. I thought i could make a nice round sum out of it

Buddy, I will pay your Patron subscription.
Take it as an indefinite loan, you pay me back when you can

Okay thanks, found her. Are her bracelets in the same price range than the Italian ones? Then I will order one, when I have the first build that is worth it.
At the moment, such a bracelet would be a little overkill for the low amateur work I do with the 1016s 😂
Maybe waiting the next 10 builds or so... 😎

They are about 75 dollars plus shipping, they come with good end link 358. But you have to modify them to accept 2mm spring bar.

The Italian thing seem to be high quality rep, but 500e...
