Glidelock bracelet...on a kermit!
Well,
After waiting a couple of months, I finally received my new glidelock bracelet from my local AD for my 'Kermit'. This thing is great!! Here are some pics. I think I got all the stickers off.

Looks great! Are those the original end links to the kermit or do the 6 digit end links fit the 5 digit case?

Thanks. 6 digit endlinks. Picked up today and the rep at the AD put it on with no problems. It was as it was built for it.

Is the steel exactly the same colour? The first photo shows a small variation, but then again the light is not so good.
