Re: Unsolicited Early Impressions of the Aquitaine from an Unknown Yank
Thanks for an excellent and detailed review. A pleasure to read.
As to the Unknown Yank, it’s another example of our wonderful divided language. I think almost any Brit would take that as you intended: an American they didn’t know well. I certainly did.

Thanks for the pics and review. The blue looks great in your pics - better than CW’s shots.
Re: Unsolicited Early Impressions of the Aquitaine from an Unknown Yank
Thanks for the review, looks stunning and agree with others I am sure a quick email should get you the missing links. How strange to not include them. Enjoy!

I did email the customer support folks for the missing links. I also thought it was weird, but I didn’t know if that’s just how things are here. Glad it isn’t.

Re: Unsolicited Early Impressions of the Aquitaine from an Unknown Yank
A good review of your new Aquitaine Jameson
I'm glad you are very happy with it, great photos too and the engraving is a nice touch for you to have added
I had to look at your photos on my mobile as my work PC blocks Imgur images for some reason.
Enjoy it

If there’s a better way to post photos I’ll do that. I thought posting to Imgur and using the URL was the preferred method.

Keep doing it the same way JamesonNationOfLaws wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 12:29 pm If there’s a better way to post photos I’ll do that. I thought posting to Imgur and using the URL was the preferred method.
It's purely a work setup thing on my end so certainty still the best way for you to post photos.

Re: Unsolicited Early Impressions of the Aquitaine from an Unknown Yank
Having kind of a weird experience with CW customer service. I think there’s a misunderstanding that we can hopefully clear up. I added resizing after I’d paid, and although I’d offered to pay, CW added it for free as a goodwill gesture. As I mentioned earlier, I didn’t receive those links that were removed so I emailed CW and asked for them. They replied today and told me that the bracelet wasn’t actually resized so there are no links to send, but I can’t believe that’s true given that my resized Sealander bracelet is longer than the supposedly stock Aquitaine bracelet.
So either the Aquitaine bracelets are small enough in stock size that a 7.25” wrist maxes it out, or something’s not quite right.
Anyway, I’m not frustrated yet or angry at all. I think we have a misunderstanding and I’m hopeful we can figure it out. Otherwise maybe I just buy a couple more links if they’ll sell them.

Re: Unsolicited Early Impressions of the Aquitaine from an Unknown Yank
From memory there should be three removeable links on each size so six in total.
Count how many there are on your Aquitaine.
Also there could be a half link each side now also so that's two half links as well extra,

Two full-sized removable links on each side, one half-link on one side, two on the other.

That could be correct so, I haven't received a very up to date CW bracelet in a while.
