I have a really geeky tweak for these "value" rivet bracelets....

The screws on the removable links can be replaced by rivets....ok so you need to size it to your wrist, but there is always an adjustment in the clasp, and the rivets can be removed again fairly easily with a blade.

I am sure there are better options, but here is a link to Amazon.

Don’t know if anyone is producing them for sale on the forum but I was wondering if anyone has 2 line gilt dials for 2824 movements for sale ( not ones done with gold paint / print ) in tropical or black finish. Preferably tropical, if so what are you charging for them and do you ship to UK ? I think it would be the finishing touch for my ongoing build. Aged Raffles case and rivet bracelet, lugs drilled for correct spring bar, brassed bezel with Athaya lume pip and Athaya crown fitted. The Raffles dial looks ok but I think a gilt dial would finish the watch nicely.

Try @manodeoro he does film free decal dials. Here's the one he did for me, it's true negative relief but for a lot less money.

I need to take this back apart and fix the color of the hands and the lume. My first build and they stick out like a sore thumb !
