Get a more authentic-looking bracelet & tone down the polish on the bezel sides & you will have a winner.

Thanks Freddy. I'm looking for a nice folded bracelet bit I'm leaning more to a vintage leather strap. I will definitely tone down the polish. Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2

Thank you all for the kudos. Thanks for the photo Akira. I'm actually thinking about a strap just like that. Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2

Very nice build, that dial/hands look really good. Why remove the pearl? i've never seen a genuine with the pearl missing.Ofrei has very good trit pearls. Do what Freddy said, plus get a good pearl, and you will have a "knock it out the park" watch.

[stevedrk]

Thanks. I have a couple of Ofrei lum dots on order. Trit pearls are hard to come by and are expensive...

 

I'm in the process of picking a db10 leather strap for this watch and probably the Tudor 7924. Hopefully it will arrive soon.

Pardon my noobness but whats a BCL plexi? Great build BTW.
