Just read, that Sir Sean Connery died at the age of 90. Mr. James Bond was my hero of the sixties when I couldn't wait for the next James Bond to come. He was a great actor through the centuries and may rest in peace.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Connery

RIP Sir Sean. A true legend.

Absolute legend. I know he was 90 but he was THE MAN. Fuuuuck.

Talk to @mymanmatt, he can probably enlighten you.

First post is now politically correct. 😇 -- @Nanuq I'm pretty sure it's spelled e-x-p-e-r-i-e-n-c-e and not cheating. -- Here is a rough go-through of what is done to the bracelet. FInished result: Crown relief is deepened so it becomes more clear and "better pressed". This us done with a ultra-pointed diamond file, then polished with different grits of sandpaper using toothpicks. I tried using an engraving on Dremel to do this, but it's hard to control the depth and tooling marks might appear. Also adding lines further back on the crown . All sides are softened with 3 grits of wet sandpaper, then the rivets are filed down. They are very protruding and an instant-tell on VN-bracelets. Afterwards a whole lot of polishing with white, blue, pink and finally yellow polishing roguw. Same with all details in the clasp. End links are adapted to fit the case. The red arrows point at already hammered/adapted (and stock... oh boy) but still protruded links. Green ones are finished. Afterwards heavy polishing of backside of the links, to soften all corners and "melt/bend" the links even more for a fully flush fit. Rebrush by hand with 3 grits of abrasive bloc ks, afterwards fine polish of the side-plates for a polished edge. This one is supposed to show stuff I already wrote above.

New watch alert!... No time to die is right 🙂 My new favorite watch:
