·Just my personal point of view, you may well be right... Seller seems to offer authentic stuff...
On the other hand the features I pointed out are strange...
I agree that caution is merited most times, though.
B o R for my constellation?

·Tks
tks iamvr - I was looking out for him as he had some very nice watches in the past, but not so many recently. Hadn’t thought about parts so good shout.
You may already know (I didn't) that even with the correct end links, some fiddling and bending may be required to get them into the right shape for a nice fit to your watch and not leaving gaping holes. I'm not 100% convinced yet whether I want to wear my dog leg Connie on a BoR. If I decide to let it go (the BoR that is), I will PM you.

·Thanks for that. I had seen a few pictures that made me think.
I am broadly in the same boat, but thinking if it makes it appear a little bigger that is good. Against that the aged dial against the silver metal may look a little tired

If you do fit it, can you share some on and off wrist pics? I am a bit anxious and not 100% either

All I can say is that I love wearing my Dogleg on a BOR. (dome dial in my case) and can whole heartedly recommend it.
- yes, there is some gapping but to be honest I never notice it.
The only real issue in my opinion is sizing a BOR for slender wrists.
A couple of pics.

Off the wrist
On the wrist
Hope that helps

·What size spring bars? If you're using 1.5mm instead of 1.8mm or larger, I could see a fitting issue.

Thanks for your comment. I was indeed using 1.5mm spring bars. Took the BOR off for now as another member also suggested using thicker spring bars to at least avoid the sideways tilt while others still suggested the end links needed a gentle bent. Ordered 1.8mm spring bars for now and will see how it looks before taking further measures.

·So back from my watchmaker (who had to fix another issue). He put in thicker spring bars and bent the end links into shape to narrow the gaps. I quite like the result. Sorry @eternalover, the BOR is a keeper now 😀.
