Jimmythree Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM Report Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM Fuzzy photo of my 25 year old T/H Sel... The OEM bracelets on these things are JUNK and literally fall apart, so I found a bracelet that was pretty close to fitting , worked it over, and stuck it on the watch. The bracelet came from an old Jaques Prevard quartz dive style watch and a jewelry store friend laser etched the T/H logo on the clasp lock. A genuine replacement bracelet in fair condition sells for about twice what one of these watches is worth (imho) and will fall apart anyway so this 'replacement' is fine with me. I paid $200 for the watch in 2011 in very good condition, so buying a $250 junk bracelet was out of the question. T/H 'LINK' watches have a similar but much better bracelet. Note...I am 'automatico' but now when I go on the forum, I come up as J3, my screen name from 2007.

jackflash Posted Sunday at 12:36 PM Report Posted Sunday at 12:36 PM Quote Beautiful! What are the specs? Thanks! It’s an older build, specs ad follows: MBW case CAC bezel insert HR dial ETA 2846 movement, removed the date complication. Two position crown. Added a balance wheel stop too so it hacks. Mixed handset, from where exactly I forget. That’s about it.

Did you have to give them a picture or do they have dials to choose from? I think the HR dial is better than my Phong dial. 1

Send them a shot of the lume colour you want and they’ll match it for an additional fee.
