Day Date 1803 wideboy discussion

Platinum? oooOOOOooo!

Surprisingly, I've now ended up with a really good Australia Post guy. He rings _and_ waits for someone to come to the door.


Now I just need to find one of these to show up in the mail:

I had no idea they came with this bracelet/bezel combo, and have developed a real fondness for 'em 😀

Trev

I thought so, but went searching for my bookmarks and couldn't find them.

I wonder if there's many examples around with bracelets that aren't stretched out too much? I would definitely swap the crystal to de-'clops it as well (a must, imo).

Totally off-top, sorry. I guess that's just the nature of ΩF. 😁

The WG Day-Dates are more uncommon and most of the time you just see the heads go up for sale. I can't imagine how much the bracelet alone would cost...😲

Another option would be just to sand off the cyclops - did that with a couple of mine. 👍

Trev

Wouldn't swapping the crystal be easier, or did you want to retain the original? I love how much more proportioned and clean they look without the 'clops.

The challenge is finding one that fits - it has to be the correct size and fit perfectly with the bezel to lock in.

Sanded off:



Sorry to go off topic once again 😜

That watch is the one I kept showing Trev that got him interested in a wideboy in the first place 😉

Gavin

And I thought you were joking when you first said you sanded that down.😜

Kyle what's that strap on your DJ? Looks great and very supple

I've got an 1802 - smooth bezel @ the bank. Poverty unique looking, IMO. Ill snap some pictures for you next chance I get...the last time I wore it was like 10 years ago and there were no digital cameras yet! Lmao. J/k.

My bad. Wrong link. Should be this one. YG though.
