Hey OF,

So recently, I've been looking at some Day Dates, the 1803 to be exact.

I've found a few local pieces going for about 5.2-5.4k USD, watch head only.

I've read on TRF regarding how difficult it is to get a period correct bracelet for the 1803....

1) Is it advisable to always buy a 1803 together with a period correct bracelet? (I understand the bracelet is rather expensive as well, somewhere between 5-6k USD?)

2) What are some signs or things to look out for on the dial for a 1803, correct day font wheel ?

Thanks in advance.
