Someday I'm gonna get a BOR bracelet, but in the meantime...

Post by TakesALickin » Sun Jun 22, 2014 2:32 pm

...I've discovered that blue is a good color match for this silver dial. Bought all three of these in the last couple of months.

Probably won't wear the shark leather so much now that it's 80-90F and sticky all the time, but the Tropic and the NATO should get a work out this summer.

Like Brian Wilson said, "I'm gettin' bugged drivin' up and down the same ol' strip, I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip..." :mrgreen:

Truth is I started reading this forum a couple of years back, but a lot of the sig pics and avatars are... (ahem) NSFW. And since I read a ot of watch forums while I'm at work I eventually just stopped opening DWC. I didn't need a tits and ass surprise as one of the company big wigs was walking by my desk. But I'm gonna try to remember to visit when I'm at home. Here only the wife can object and she already knows I like T&A. :lol:

Unless you work for a watch company, company big wigs would frown on seeing watches on your computer as much as

Ok maybe not.

Nice watch!

Wow! That's really helpful! I'll spend a lot more time here now, definitely. Much appreciated.

Nah, they've accepted that I have this quirky hobby that none of them quite get. But the erection inducing bouncing boobies were a bridge too far. Glad I know how to turn them off now! :cheers:

Bargain compared to the $400-$800 real BoR will set you back these days....

If we could convince Harold to make one with endlinks to fit some doxa models I would jump at the chance. They look to be quality pieces.

Only downside to his BOR is the hollow endlinks, but that's to be expected for the price point. Also, I had to "shape" my endlinks to fit properly. All in all, it is solid and I much prefer it over OEM

I saw someone out there who had a yobokies bro modded to fit their Doxa, I really don't see how it would be to tough to do.

The other thing if some reason or another you decide to sell this bracelet after modifying it yobokies does sell endlinks for them. Plus he will do a tapered or non-tapered bracelet. Hard to go wrong honestly.

I'd like hollow end links....tapered links...spring pads....and of course a ratcheting dive clasp.

Definitely. Get your hands on a proper (i.e. vintage) Sub and you won't be disappointed, Ben. I miss the 300T Pro I had more than any other piece I've let go, and I'm definitely acquiring another.
