on another note I would give my left testicle for one of those WatchCo SM 300m.

 

All you need is money and someone with a parts account and the movement.

 

Can you elaborate on the "really bad" please?

 

It's marked with a Jacoby-Bender logo on the clasp where they never would have back in the day. I have Jacoby-Bender bracelets and they are never marked on the clasp cover... only where it is hidden.

That's how just about everyone did it back then. Why he chose do do this logo, I dunno.

 

That doesn't bother me. Functionality does though.
Whilst I like the the idea with the stretchy links, I'm not sure about the "long" clasp beneath the shorter cover.
Why they chose to go that long, I don't know!

 

Becaue guys like me have large hands and small wrists!

 

Not sure if that's the reason.
Up to now, I haven't come across anyone complaining that he can't get his steel bracelet over his hand and onto the wrist if it's sized right.
It can get a bit tight, the stretchy links come in handy here, but he'll manage with a normal sized clasp eventually.

 

Just a point of correction there - vintage clasps were branded too (see photo). '

 

Yep, although I've heard these points and appreciate the feedback! Will keep in mind for the next version.

 

I see it is! First one of those I've seen like that.

 

Yup, me. That's why aftermarket Omega-style deployants don't fit me, they're too short. Can't get the watch over my hand.

 

Apart from the first image which one could see and understand, I'm not sure what you want to illustrate with the above two images.

 

It almost looks like he's wearing the watch and braclet between the wrist bones and the hand, which is unusual.

 

Is that unusual? It is where I have always worn my watch.
Maybe it is because I don't have a very protruding wrist bone or maybe my wrist is so ample it prevents the bone protruding

 

My arms are definitely skinnier than yours.

 

Yep, same here....large hands, big wrists, small ulna bone.

3 choices......cinch it tightly, high on wrist and have tingle finger or cinch it "comfortably" high and have it slide and twist under wrist while wearing.....

or wear low

I wear low.

 

Of course, the first image is showing the effect of the stretch links. They can flex and move around - if your hand is up, for example, the weight of the watch would be pulling the links downward, hence the clasp hinge shows. If it bothered you, you could prevent that by removing an additional link so the flex links are mostly hidden underneath the clasp, although I don't think all of the flex links would fit under the clasp.

I think what he's saying with the second image is that we don't use a tapered inner clasp hinge. In the past I personally associated those with "cheap" aftermarket bands so wanted to make our lines clean and straight. But I take the point - even with the flex links, that clasp would be less visible if we used a tapered inner clasp.

 

Yep. Looking again mine is pretty much directly on the ulnar with the crown almost reaching my hand itself. It is very comfortable like that but then I have never worn any differently

 

Looks like a dive extension as used on the Rolex Sub would help with that problem.
