The bracelet has arrived....

I have had many watches pass through my impoverished hands over the years, and I am not easily impressed, but this bracelet is truly splendid. Well it should be for the poultry sum that it cost. It truly is a incredibly well made bracelet, IMHO.

I ordered the all brushed SS bracelet for my 241. I don't really like the polished links so I didn't go that route. Took almost 3 months, and in that time the 241 has gained a total of 3 seconds.

So now the straps will get a rest for a bit....

Yeah, they carry some serious weight. CONGRATS! I would also highly recommend trying the AP bracelets. The finishing is second to none.

You got it! Finally! And you lived to see the day it on your wrist.

I got to say, I was not sure how it was going to look when you mentioned it before, but this photo shows how great it looks.
That is seriously beautiful.
Wear it in good health!
Cheers!

Congratulations on receiving and liking the bracelet.

Good thing we don't all collect bracelets, the price of steel would surely increase!

Cheers
Richard

Congrats I think I'm one of the few that actually prefers my PAMs on a bracelet. I prefer bracelets in general. Doing the same wait for my AP offshore bracelet.

Thank you all for the kind words. It truly is heavy metal, and I am glad I chose the all brushed version. Easy to change, too. I find that the 40mm, though not popular, works for me.

I thought the bracelet would fill the last open pouch in my strap case (holds 10) but I found a plastic bag in my desk which had a few straps in it. Guess I forgot about them! So I ordered another strap case. Three slots left. Thinking of going upscale with some from Micha...

Oh yeah, and living long enough to get the bracelet was a plus!!! When I move to Seizure's Palace in a few years I'll have a nice watch and strap collection.
