LightGeek 25 Posted June 9, 2017 In ongoing watch purge, I've tried to save a bunch of them by doing new straps and bits. This one was years in the waiting and I should have done it when the CAD was stronger against USD. Alas, I bought a used bracelet on eBay for around $600 CAD in hopes it will revitalize the SOA I haven't worn for almost 10 months. Strangely, the bracelet shipped with about $12 worth of postage and no tracking. Was worried about that but eBay would have my back if it was wrong or missing. Then I noticed it said 878A endlinks but found out it's the same as the 131A I asked for. Overall, extremely happy. I'll need to do some polishing but the $600 CAD was worth it. I swapped in a gen Swiss ETA years ago when I got the watch and it deserves the bracelet. ... now I only wish they repped the Orange chapter ring version.

LightGeek 25 Posted June 9, 2017 Stunning. Bracelet finishes it off enjoy. Hope to do this to mine someday It's a hard step to take... $350 rep with a $600+ bracelet. If it didn't have a Swiss mvmt... I might not swing for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats kinda what has put me off but then I also bought a brand new genuine leather strap (should have waited and got a bracelet :( ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rusty peters 0 Posted June 9, 2017 Well worth the cost, in my opinion. Your total outlay is still half the price of a preowned gen. Cape Cod should bring that back to minty in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted June 20, 2017 What I love about this watch is the depth of the dial features. It's a nice break from printed dials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thommo82 1,397 Posted June 21, 2017 They have one of these left at my AD Had to stop myself from trying it on as I knew I would end up buying something I couldn't afford Apparently this model rep is no longer made, though I can find the 21 jewel version with the shitty yellow colour easily. Your watch looks beautiful Wear it with pride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
