For some reason it's a very common practice to take a 1040/518 bracelet, and file the 19mm endlinks down to 18mm, cram them into places they shouldn't go, like cramming them into the lugs of a 168.025 watch, also damaging the watch in the process - I don't get it, it's a $200+ bracelet and there are much cheaper non-damaging solutions, at this point it's pretty much an endangered species too, really hard to find a 1040 that doesn't have it's endlinks filed down

Please don't buy such watches and message sellers against such practices, I've started reporting each of them, please join me

"Seller mutilated and fit a bracelet from another watch and not explicitly disclosed this practice"

I've attached my choices for the report

A free extension is as free as free healthcare system! 😜 (oh crap, I said it again...how many times?) 😁

I get your hatred of this practice, but you assume that the seller did it. For all you know, this could have been done decades ago.

Cheap $60 quartz missing bracelet? Just cram another gold coated 1040 in there!
