Gold Bracelet on Malvern

Post by President »

Would the CW gold bracelet look good on a C5SSS?

I need a replacement for the standard one and I was going for a CW deployment with a non-CW strap - Total £19 ex p&p - £6 less than a CW SS one but my original one got badly scratched in three and a half months so I'm wary.

So how about a gold one?

Thanks,

Prez

That is possible, but how do you know the end-links will fit the case correctly?

I don't, I assumed.

Sorry, the CW strap is £35 not £25.

The width will be o.k., I would be worried about the right "curvature" of the end-lugs, that there won't be too much space between the case and the end-links, the end-links need to be shaped the same way as the rounding of the case, otherwise it doesn't look to well.
