steel not worried about you it is these big time modders on for years know their sh*t come on discuss builds ins and outs do give a dime, I am paying for them. You know who you are I have called on you to help out, come on I am here. Well you payed for years not cutting it, guess what operating expenses do not go away!
OK out of the bath clean up with water paper towel then buff up. A real PIA getting out of mesh links couple of hours not overnight recommended,it dried in pretty good.
Fairly easy to mount.
Now notice of course no end links this look bothers me better on flyr's PolProf with concealed attachment.
On the wrist.
Put it on a new Rotary I had handy on a NATO easy off. Right size 20mm but maybe get a 22mm by nature of the connection should fit in and cover better. Comfortable on, plenty long fits my 8.25 may take out link but first use micro ADJ all in see how that feels. Clasp fine double lock diver style works well. Not to heavy feels good just enough not to be cheap.
Guys saw piece on news in NYC years ago they went out bought sunglasses off the street guys who sell them. The station then sent them out to get tested for UV protection guess what all good on UV the dif was the optic quality of the medium used.
I picked up a couple here http://www.watchtailor.com/metal-watch-bands.html (needed two to make one for me) . Clasp sterile so you need to source unless you have, as to quality never got around to messing with sold to MD2020 he has been using per his pics (1680) so give him a shout.
PS at 45 bucks not a big deal to give a try.
