I've always wanted to ask you why do you sell OEM bracelets and straps ? To minimize the price of a watch ? But then you have to sell it for less, no?

Edit: I've decided to hang onto it for now. It's not as if the bracelet will lose value. It will stay new in plastic until I'm sure I won't use it.
Ok, I'm back to stalking your explorer.Image

In some instances I sell the bracelets because I'll never wear on anything except a nato. In other cases, also when I intend only nato, I sell the bracelet to help defray the cost of the watch. With straps, I sell them because I have yet to find a stock strap that fit my wrist. I also cannot wear leather or rubber because of some issues I have.

With my current 114060 I plan to leave it on bracelet exclusively. With this 214270 I picked it up with the intention of it being exclusively a nato strap watch.

Buy the XVIII in your flavor but on bracelet and sell it to me, even if it's the LPP with polished center links, although I'd prefer all brushed.

We can do a week long swap or whatever... The Weiss for my white XVIII until you take the bait. But seriously, I'd do the swap just to handle the Weiss and so you could try it on for size.

Late to the party, but DAMN Ed, that's a fine trio. Three of the best-EVER divers, IMNHO.

You are indeed full of sh!t if you think you're getting out of watch musical chairs though.

Well, the post was a year ago and I don't own any of the three today. It was wishful thinking at best. Today's trio is different and I make no predictions for the future.
