5960/1a - Two Random Pictures

Did I mention this bracelet is the most comfortable I've worn (ap,nautilus,oyster)?

Since there is such a huge disparity between the press pics of this watch and how it looks in person (read: bracelet looks fugly blingy over the top in press pics and simply awesome in person) and also since there aren't too many real life pics I figure why not post two more in hopes of enabling others to purchase this great piece

I believe I correctly used all three forms of "to,too,two" in previous post.

This shot is from my fingers pointing down my arm. It's a weird angle but it shows how perfectly the watch hugs the wrist.

Wonderful! And congrats!

My only reservation is the bracelet.... All the polish makes me wonder how it looks in person. Some pics out in the sun would be great.

Enjoy it man!

Beautiful watch! The bracelet looks awesome as well. If I was not waiting on a 5575, I would have bought this one too.

Mike thanks for sharing those lovely random photos! You wear that watch very well! Congrats!!

Btw.. Does that bracelet comes with the pins or are they screws for adjustment?

HAGWE! .. Jen

Mike it looks great on you! Glad you got this one, I think if more people saw it in person...they'd get it too. I've had mine on every day but a few since getting it in November.

If the watch had better water resistance, I think it might be the "perfect" watch. At least for me.

Jen - bracelet has pins. If you look in one of the pics of the bracelet you can see a pin not quite seated properly (it is sticking out a bit ).

With the little twisty type pin remover, and a plastic mallet, its pretty simple to do. Or of course any AD is happy to size it (I just couldn't wait and did it myself )

I hear you - and I know everyone has different opinions - but even if it had the water resistance I don't think I would wear it swimming

Some newbie questions...

Hi Mike,

Congratulations again on your new watch. I am contemplating on acquiring this piece in the coming year but still have some reservations regarding the "look" of the bracelet. Your live pictures are certainly helping nudge me in the right direction...

I don't know if this has been asked in the past (I tried to do some searches but could not find any answers), Is the bracelet removable at all? I see in many pictures that the bracelet seems to held in place by spring bars and the bracelet even has small cutouts to help gain access to the spring bar "shoulders" so I am wondering if you can swap out the bracelet for a strap to give it more versatility??

Thanks,
Andrew

I can't be the only one who wonders, but maybe the only one to blaspheme...
How would this case and bracelet look with a satin finish?
This is what I get for wearing a Hamilton between Nautilus play dates...:) !!!

Andrew it appears as if there is a solid end link with four teeth instead of just two. I can't quite tell if there is a way to get the solid end link off. If not it seems like they could make an adapter with three teeth to a solid spring bar for a bracelet but who knows. Kind of tough to get a pic.

Thanks for the quick reply and picture.

I guess the two middle links are "Permanently" attached to the case..hmm I wonder if anyone else has tried to remove these and see if the end link with the two links would come out once you remove the spring bars.

Maybe its a good sign that no current owners have swapped out the bracelet for a strap yet…it means they are really liking the bracelet.
