juicemouse Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Critique time. I received this 1019 yesterday and although I'm happy overall with the quality of the watch, the bracelet is absolute [censored]. It's the cheapest feeling bracelet I've seen since starting this game. The links screw head slots are also so wide that my screwdrivers have trouble removing them. The SEL also 'dips' in at 6 and 12 leaving an awkward gap with the bezel. The dial, crystal, and hands look pretty good but the bezel, like the bracelet, looks cheap. Almost like its chrome plated and not polished stainless steel. Total weight with 2 links removed is 87 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juicemouse Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Is this light for a watch of this era or is the weight what you would expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypunch Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I've never seen these with lug holes. Where's it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicemouse Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I've never seen these with lug holes. Where's it from? Andrew. The bracelet really is crap though. And it's 28.8 high beat, although the gen is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypunch Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 When in doubt go nato you could always swap out the movement if it worries you that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicemouse Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I will probably switch out the movement. Have two laying around. That or save up 25k for a gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
