Nice review. It’s the same one I got but from eBay.

The only thing I wish right now, it’s that there would be a 1.8mm option for the spring bars. 1.5mm is not ideal for my watch and makes me a bit concerned about the strength.

Even bracelets sometimes stick to my wrist.

I am evaluating a bonklip now, because it’s super light and exposes minimal contact to the skin.

What’s this royal ripoff? Sorry I don’t get the reference.

Yeah, it certainly does not work with many watches. I can’t imagine it with thick cases or something dressy for example.

Thank you for the detailed answer !

I know understand very well and that is something I will definitely consider.

By the way, in case you are fine to go for a bracelet, you may like the bonklip bracelet that I just received today.

Why? Because it’s almost as light and comfortable as a strap, and it adjusts to all sizes including small wrists.

You can check my today’s post…

I agree, it would be much better without the date.

Worth fixing?

It's a very old quartz Yema that I used when I was a kid. I already got it second hand at the time. It was probably made in the 80s. Unfortunately, it's in pretty bad condition: - the crown turned bro...
