    A friend who owns a jewelry store called me yesterday. He told me he had a customer walk in and scrap a gold watch. I then went to look at the bracelet and went ahead and got it for the melt value and added it to my speedmaster. It definitely has a saventies and eighties vibe. Please let me know what you fine people on the forum think of the addition. As always wear them in good health.

    I have to say I agree it is busy. It does give a more jewelry touch. But it does look better in person. For some reason pictures do make it seem more busy.

    IMO the braclet is older than you expect - looks more like 40s or 50s

    Serious bling. Not my style but definitely has the retro look.

    Yes it needs a new stem and crystal. It runs but I would recommend a service.

    Just stunning a little bling but still on the classy side. You have it on the right watch. An opportunity well taken.

    A little bling is great on occasion! Great pickup.
