Sacred Order of The Pin And Collar

Latest Hanukkah gift purchase. Bigger than I’m used to, but scratches my blue dial itch in style. Did one adjustment, and now just letting my patience replenish before I go at the bracelet one final time.

Beautiful watch!  I have a Presage with that bracelet, and while it’s better than many at that price point, I swapped it for a leather strap.

I am contemplating doing the same. In general, I’m not a big bracelet guy. I just have a hard time trusting my eye to pick out the right strap. Will just have to take the leap.

Pin and collar is a PITA. Ask me how I know 🤣

Did you lose one of the collars and just use supermarket twist ties to put the bloody bracelet back together?

nah, luckily a worm's eye view of the floor and a flashlight saved me from that fate!

Definitely a great watch for straps -- that blue works with both black (for dressy) and brown (for casual).  Enjoy!

Love that soft blue dial 😍 which model is that?

I've got the standard white dial (baby snowflake?) and love it. But I too swapped out the bracelet tight away. Not that I don't like bracelets, I do. Just a bit unhappy with the stock bracelet and felt a nice blue leather strap dressed it up even more.

It’s SRPF53.Unfortunately, I’m gonna return it. I just find the dial way too big for my taste. Looks out of proportion. Unfortunately, that means I have to put the removed links back in. Oh well, my first real watch buying mistake. Lesson learned: No over 40mm watches over the web unless they’re easy to return.

Bummer that it doesn't fit you well, cuz that's a beautiful dial.  Even though I already have the white version, you've poked the addiction in me and I might need the twin now 😜

It is indeed too bad. Very disappointing. Sorry if I cost YOU $$ in the process 😉.

Was dreading putting the links back in (and possibly doing something that would have rendered the watch unreturnable in the process). Went to my jewelry repair guy. He did it in about five seconds at no charge and congratulated me for doing it myself originally given what a pain the process is.
