And I am a bit afraid to ask, but has there been any progress with the hardness coatings? Sometime ago I read/heard an interview where it was said that it affects finishing very unfavorably. I very much like the idea that not only the crystal is scratch resistant... Great idea! I love my anti-scrat...

1.) Keep 36mm, but offer additional size options 2.) Keep the male endlinks but please sharpen up the machining of the faux link and tighten up the tolerances. 3.) Refine the Bader bracelet to have steeper taper and beveled edges like the Trident Bader (perhaps taper down to 15mm at the clasp) 4.) S...

It's the size of a medium sized hole in savings!
