It feels like a different kind of metal under the (edit) clouds.

Have been on a moritorium from buying watches for the last year+. Thanks to @rendo infecting me with diver madness, i broke that this week.
The photos were crap, bracelet was described as “broken” (missing spring bar) crystal cracked and sold as-is. I sent a low ball offer and got it. But even with the crappy pics showing only a couple links and no clasp shot, I knew exactly what the bracelet was which is why I bought it.

Bracelet is full length (2 links in the clasp and still loose on my 7.5” wrist) which is rarely ever the case with these JBC’s.
Even though I had planned to pull the bracelet and put the watch in the parts bin, it cleaned up beautifully and is keeping perfect time. I may just hunt down a crystal for it. Anyone got a 1389AW burning a hole in their parts bins?

Nice catch, James.

GP Jumbo this morning, had it serviced last year but only worn it twice since then.

The strap probably should be a different colour but I guess it is a partial match to the gold hands however probably should be a different colour, open to suggestions. What's on it is a Condor Elite strap which I really like as they are super thick leather and not padded but I have other Gold Watches this could be on more appropriately.
