Protip, you can sand down the bracelet in the middle so the SEL fits better. Make the "U" curve of the end links more deep in the middle so it fits with the case better. Thats the problem I've had with Riyi bracelets.

Other than that - you cannot go wrong with a StoneP build! Beautiful and very gen like! Wear in good health

thanks for the tip! is there anyone you'd suggest I get my watch to to sand the bracelet or will a local watchsmith suffice?

Also, I've experienced the clasp of the watch not closing tightly after a week of wearing it. After a few shakes of the wrist or simple walking, it comes unclasped. It is very very easy to open.

You can just do it yourself, use a dremel or sandpaper and slowly work on it until the curvature fits the case better.

The clasp not closing is probably just a function of the machining, nothing you can really do im afraid.

These look lovely, only thing that puts me off is it's impossible to get the weight of a solid gold watch. Not really a big deal but it would always play on my mind.

Very beautiful watch that you got there. I always get excited when I see him post up a sales thread.
