Looks like it's getting quite dark now, didn't take long

I actually like it more I think…. It looks properly bronze. Hard to capture in a photo.

Good luck. It sais it's sold out in the EU. Still available in US and Asia.

Managed to get one ordered, I’d emailed them and they had an issue with their website which is fixed now

Invariably, this makes its way into my wrist. It’s just so comfortable.

Read this and looked outside, not too clever today! ::facepalm1::

my bb58 is extremely comfortable too. I’ve been surprised how much I’ve made use of the quick adjust; likely to be more important to me for future purchases I think

the darker pic definitely doesn’t do the ‘bronzeness’ justice. But here is a comparison for interest.

Yes - I agree. I used to think it was a load of old rubbish, but I use it once a day. I’ve got the bracelet exactly fitting the wrist when it’s a bit cooler and then one notch out for when it warms up a bit (and I can notice its tight). It’s a great thing really and I’m with you - ideally it would be on every watch.

exactly this. Might not be so noticeable when the seasons change but I guess I just live with a bit of looseness/tightness normally. I do use the little extension on my milgaiss quite a bit too actually.

I never used to have an issue with Rolex (esp the 5 digits). I didn’t wear them tight, but I think the watches were comparatively light. Pelagos aside, these newer ones are slightly heavier so probably need the bracelet dialled in a bit more.

i always found the easy link just a little too big of an adjustment for me. But it’s good to see tool less adjustments coming out. The one on the aquaracer is really good too and is a great upgrade on watches at these price points.

I also think jubilee bracelets have a bit more stretch inherently in them; maybe that’s also true for BoR bracelets.
Anyway I agree with you it’s s feature that has more value than I thought. Definitely more useful to me than a helium escape valve (although I still want one of them too haha)
