2009 Forum LE No. 86 - some (bad) pics

Post by Cave »

Here are some not-so-good pics of my 2009 Forum LE:

While I'm very happy with the Watch itself there are a few points regarding the bracelet and the bezel. Bracelet looks a little rough and unfinished on 2-3 edges an the "backwards" clasp just felt awkward - so I turned it around. Also the bezel is off-centre.
But besides that a great watch! It fells and looks nice and its fun to wear. Especially in the sun because the sunlight makes the blue hands and hour-markers really stand out :D

I wasn't overly keen on the bracelet after a weeks wearing so swapped to the black leather strap.

The pics are good. Not sure about the guitar in the baclground though. :)

I like the SS strap. It is thicker and different from the one on the C4/C7/C40. Although seeing the pics with the brwon leather strap has made me think about getting one. Strange as I usually prefer black.

I wish you hadn't mentioned the bezel being off centre as i hadn't noticed until now. I've looked and mine is also slightly out. :?

My bracelet was a little rough on the inside of the links. spent a little time buffing them up with my Dremel. Bracelet finish is one area where CW could improve.
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Thanks - but the "guitar" is a not a real guitar but a guitar-style Playstation 3 Controller for Games like Rock Band :)

I like the SS strap too. Only the small issues I mentioned are a a little let-down. IMO black straps only look good on watches with a black face :)

Is it easy to replace the bracelet with a strap?

I don't have a Dremel or anything. So I won't do any work on the bracelet myself.

Replacing the bracelet with the strap was fine. You just need a small watchmaker hammer to hit the pins out of the bracelet and then a watchmaker screwdriver to attach the strap.
