Usil Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Just got this in the mail today from Silix and thought you would like to see it on a mesh (Milanese) bracelet. The stick markers on the dial, the knurl of the bezel and flutes on the crown accent the bracelet perfectly.

rodwc Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 The bracelet really, really compliments the watch. Classy, without being over dressy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Looks amazing - hard to believe it's a rep. I'm tired of chronos with dodgy movements and this ETA rep makes total sense. Wear it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 :wub: Wow - that is a stunner. And your efforts tracking down a suitable bracelet have really paid off. You should trademark Usil's 'Ultimate Heritage' while there's still time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Damn Usil thats hot! I never really liked these, but your pic really makes it pop. Glad the bracelet worked out for ya, is it comfortable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 To answer a few... Glad the bracelet worked out for ya, is it comfortable? Yes, the bracelet is extremely comfortable - in fact, the most comfortable I have of all of my bracelets - by far. This is a big watch at 46mm but I hardly notice it is there. It is a perfect match. Is the pic showing the actual watch you got from Silix ??? Yes, it is the actual watch I got from Silix, however I removed the blue alligator band and sourced the Milinese strap from http://lonestarwatches.com. I'm tired of chronos with dodgy movements and this ETA rep makes total sense. I agree. This watch would be ruined if it were a chrono. The clean lines are what creates the simplicity and elegance of this watch. This watch exceeds my expectations in every way. Nice ETA movement, smooth click bezel, fit and finish as good as any rep I have ever received, Sapphire crystal with double AR is excellent, good lume, smooth second hand, good threads on the crown stem (screw down crown) and perfectly centered date. And thanks to cornerstone I now call it 'Usil's Ultimate Heritage'. Usil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 46 mm??? It doesn't look to be that big. Could you please post a wristshot? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Are there any improvements to be made on this? From the gen pics, it looks to be spot-on! Guaging whether to place an order with Silix or not... (definite rubber Ocean Racer strap for me though) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abat Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Not convinced by the bracelet but the watch itself looks fantastic, great shot too. Maybe 46mm is too big for me but hey I am wearing a UPO right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
