Bought this Staib mesh bracelet to replace the rubber strap and deployant clasp.
I should have bought it on the mesh originally but didn't 🙁

·I’ve not seen that bracelet before.
I think this is the one I got.
I thought I may have had to pay extra because of the stupid brexit but didn't.
Edit ; Yes it was, Staib Milanaise strap, H 3.6 mm, L 150 mm, 2792 Width: 22 mm

·I decided to find a period correct Gay Freres Bracelet for my 666A Ingenieur. This was roughly 2 weeks ago. I discovered that Ref 11 and 12 have very few examples online for sale, all of which were over $1K USD. I found one Ref 11 with IA endlinks example for sale on Ebay listed at $1,499. I submitted offers and quickly was auto rejected by Ebay. I used up all of my offers in a span of 1 minute. This prompted me to reach out to the seller. He was able to work with me and we got a deal done fairly quickly.
Since I set an alert for this on Ebay, the next day I saw an earlier model for the bracelet that was exactly period correct with the "I" endlinks. The seller listed as a "Guy Freres", yet there was over 50 watchers! I told myself I would just watch and see what happens. Fast forward to me successful outbidding my fellow watch collectors for what I believe to be an even better deal. The last 5 seconds of the bidding got intense.
Now I have two examples and one watch...but I tell myself I did a good thing since these are so elusive. On the other hand I tell myself I am a greedy dummy. The pictures are from the sellers so once they arrive I will upload pictures.
Updated: one of the examples came in

·That's usually how it goes...
Dump the 401(k) on an item and the next day one is listed for $8.50 buy it now...

·Wanted a nice pad for the tabletop when I change straps or bracelets. Could find any nice Omega ones but there was this nice Rolex one.
So now I’m a Rolex owner right 😉

·The bracelet for my worldtimer arrived today. After 2 years with the rubber and loving it, I thought I would get the bracelet solely to have the full set as I am planning on keeping it forever, but now I have sized it, it is definitely growing on me. I prefer the rubber but now wondering about what I will use for what and how often I will change it.
