Finally found one (PICS ADDED)

Have this inbound after looking for quite a while....these things are rare as hell to find without going to the boutique. Can't wait to get it on the NS Chrono GMT!!!! Borrowed the pic from seller...Love dealing with fellow DWCrs. Also gotta love when a bro like Pat calls you to ensure you saw the listing. Enabling at its best!! ALSO THX to good old East Bay Steve!!!

Feel like a whole different watch on the bracelet for sure, way more comfortable than on strap.

That looks good Eric

I always wondered, will that rubber get shiny from wear like Gshock does? Can you eventually wear it through to the metal, wonder how thick that coating is, or are they solid rubber and no metal inside? Can you put a tire dressing on them to preserve that matte new look? I need to try it one day on my NSA.

its titanium links inside of the rubber as i understand it...Seems super rugged frankly. This one is used and i don't see any sign of wear, shininess etc. Also Pat mentioned you can use a magic eraser on stuff like that to take the shine off...worth a try....

WTF is that box? I didn't know JLC made home-arrest bracelets...

WTF is that?

its a clasp condom

Panerai7 · Post by **Panerai7** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 12:03 pm

snap on?

ericf4 · Post by **ericf4** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 12:05 pm

sort of, its flexible so you buckle the watch on wrist and this goes over the entire thing

Just realized that the clasp actually can adjust about 2mm on each side so that you can make killer micro adjustments,,,,,If i didn't read it over at WUS, i would not have even known it adjusts...its not something that you would even notice when looking at it...pretty cool.
