    Such beautiful photos, Ed. I think I may have indirectly enabled this purchase when I wrote that post about the Watchbuys Chicago roadshow a few weeks ago!

    Think so.....But it seems bigger than my other 2648, even the dial looks bigger, most likely because it's a dome dial! Around 36mm.. :thumbsdown:

    No not really Adam, this has been in the works since Dec. 2013. But it did make me think about it more.;)

    Thank you, I bought it for the patina and the unexpected bonus was the original Gay Freres BOR bracelet that came with it.

    Too large I am afraid. Found a couple of tips via Google, all suggesting to open the middle links on the back side where you can see the seam. Not sure I want to take pliers to it though...
