That's a very useful review, especially of a watch that's not very common. I like it, as the Blancpain 50 F Bund id my dream watch, but have to agree with your comments about some of it...

They are invaluable when set to another well know 28 day cycle ! Knowing when to keep your head down has saved many a life/marriage ;-)
Wow, that's a lot of watch for the money.
As they promote it as a REAL dive watch, I guess the hour hand is small to make the minute hand more instantly readable !? And the double ended second...
You know that if you keep something long enough it comes back into fashion !? That's exactly where you are with this IMHO, small is the new big. Keep it !!!
What a great story, and we all love a happy ending. I wonder where our watches will be in 75 yrs time, and if someone will love and care for them ?
Ltd 5000 units, Titanium case £1,140
SOLD OUT already :(
That's a stunner. I think, because of their "faded" colour palete, they look better when they show signs of having been used.
If you waste enough time on Youtube, you will eventually see...
I think it looks fantastic on the BOR ! I would rub a Scotch pad over the shiny side links so that they match the case finish, and leave the "rice" shiny.
I assume that you will take the effected links off the bracelet first (hopefully the screws either side will be more open to persuasion) then you can get the problem section in a vice to work on it...
This look like the next episode in a series...

Clean the area with nail polish remover on a cotton bud before hand to ensure the varnish has a good surface to stick to.
That dial macro shot is mesmerising, does anyone have a link to how it's created ?
Some time later ......
Wow, typing guilloché into YouTube was a wonderful experience !
I've used them for heavier mechanical parts too and they are good-ish. TBH you are just as well to put the bracelet in a jam jar with the cleaner of choice (warm water and dish-soap) and give it a...
A stunning watch and a great post, thank you for taking the time to create it.
Thanks. I like the security of a NATO, but the texture and "faf" is usually off-putting. I noticed in one of your pics, that the lack of strap thickness was an issue. I wondered if you could double...
That looks fantastic. Could you please give pointers to the suppliers, for those of us who want to copy your work ;-)
That was a great review, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Who would have thought that a case could be too watertight, so that the dial rotted !?
Please see this as a helpful comment, not a criticism, but...
A truly classic look, especially on that strap ! It makes me think of an air-cooled 911 ;-)
1. If it's just that the holes have enlarged, then a competent engineer could drill them out and fit larger diameter pins.
2. If the 1st link is broke, then I've seen case repairs covered on here...
Putting a price on is NOT an offer to sell, just an invitation for you to make an offer ! The English law of sales is called "Tort".
That being said, putting prices on unavailable goods will...
That's a beauty, and to think it's just an old design that they have been hiding away for years.
COMEX ? Lol
But I agree with you, it's a bit like getting out of a Ford CA wearing a "Ferrari" tee shirt.
I like the watch but would never be brave enough to wear it. If I was pit crew, and...
Wow ! That is a thing of beauty, thanks to the creators and OP.

Thanks, that's useful to know. For the £5 difference in price it sounds like money well spent.
It makes a stunning combination with your Seiko by the way !
