It was actually too nice outside for me to start in. Plus the city planted new flowers and trees are starting to bloom!
Put on this beauty for the color and really glad I did.

Tool Watch Tuesday compliant with my wedding watch. This really is a great little piece, and the dial is so wildly different depending on lighting.

I've resized my Speedy and Seamaster, it wasn't that difficult. I have a bergeon 1.6 mm. Just make sure you keep track of the tiny screws.

Thanks for the link. I ordered one. Before I psyched myself out of trying, I read a couple of different sizes people were talking about using. Now we will see how brave I am. I used to wrench on cars but somehow that particular bracelet worries me.

It started raining out of nowhere right after I got the meat on the grill. The bottom fell out right after I got back inside.

On another note I ordered five more of these single pass elastic straps today :) .

That will throw a wrench in the plans for sure. Doesn’t happen often, but man it’s a pain when it does. Glad you were able to get inside before the bottom fell out!

Did you order the stretch singles from CheapestNatos? I’ve been sitting/holding off on ordering some, but my resistance is fading.

That's because slightly stripping the edges of a bolt on a strut mount is whatever. Stripping the screw on the bracelet or god forbid scratching it? Fak me! I would say go for it, but Don't force anything. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it.

I am in no way saying this is some sort of impossible task. Just that you are working on a $500 ish bracelet and to keep that in mind.
