A Different Look For The Blue 16613 - My Final Change

[Gerry]

As a number of you have seen, I replaced the TT Oyster bracelet with a blue leather bracelet (with brushed steel buckle) and I have replaced the standard caseback with a clear caseback from Thomas Preik. The only thing that would have made me more pleased was if the buckle were gold ...

Well, with the handy springbar tool, I discovered that the buckle could be removed. Woo hoo! All I needed to do was to decide what I would replace the steel buckle with. I've always thought that gold would be a better fit for this watch so maybe a nice gold buckle?

Thinking about it some more, I realised I've always liked the look of a deployment clasp on a leather strap and I read that they cause far less wear on the strap than a standard buckle.

Now, if only I could find it in gold ...

A little searching on the internet and this is the result. Hope you like it, I certainly do
