Thanks - I was going by memory as I bought it over 10 years ago. Was I right- is the 14763 the chronometer version?
Great minds buddy! If you really want to extend the life of a strap put it on a deployant buckle. No daily bending back and forth, I've had straps last almost 3-years this way. Usually one of the keepers fails first. May want to buy deployant-specific straps to keep the clasp positioned properly if you go this route eventually.
I see the difference now- there is also a bevel on your lugs. Mine is definitely a 166.010.
Sorry, didn't answer the question - blue all the way.
the colours are nice, I don’t think that the grain/texture works though
A matter if taste. I have a couple of pebbled calf straps and they look great on most watches.
Yep slight difference. Also in my research I have heard people say the 562 is COSC accurate but not branded as such. Not sure how true this is.
My 562 keeps amazing time. I thought all 5xx were that way but maybe not. It is my only 5xx so I have nothing to compare to.
Any suggestions?
‘‘‘Tis a matter of taste, but a more natural grain suits these best IMO. Smooth grain, or pig would be nice. I have a few faux croc which looks good, but wish they were not faux, as it conflicts with the sincerity of these classic watches. Whatever floats your boat thought. Hirsch makes great ones at good price points, and there are 10 tones of posts about straps here. See if you can find a catalogue pic of your model or year
edit: is it a ‘61? Do let me know if you find a catalogue pic, I’ve been searching but come up empty
Good gravy, the same bracelet on another poster's 14701!
link?
Pebbled calf looking like above or should I go for something smoother?
