dbane883 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Putting down the tools now. I've held off getting a gen bracelet for my 5513 for quite some time and have lived with various leather and semi-franken bracelets using gen endlinks and 93150 clasp in combination with some aftermarket links. My goal first and foremost was comfort over period "correctness". If it's not comfortable to wear than what's the point right? Finally broke down a purchased a gen 7206 rivet bracelet with 67 stamp to match the case. While I had my doubts, I find it extremely comfortable and complements the lines of the sleek case. While at times it does feel a bit tuna can-ish, I really like the slim links. I still need to remove one link. Any advice from those that have performed this surgery would be appreciated. Thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yes, there you go. Hands down best 5513 on the forum. Sweet harmony of gen rivet, faded kiss 4, malteser plots and, well - everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Beautiful! I need to do that too. Removing a link is easy, though scary. Just open the middle leaf of the link you want to remove,slide the bar out, open the middle leaf of the next link and slip it over the revealed bar. Press the middle leaf closed and Bob's your uncle. Sounds easy, huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmj Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Simply stunning!! A 7206 feels flimsy and looks like it could break off easily but very comfortable on the wrist. Your 5513 looks spectacular now. It's the complete diver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
