Plus it's ridiculously good-looking. Great way to keep the original bracelet fresh, too. I like. :)
I'm super happy with the LB.



In fact, the 114060-bracelet, I just had to try it on since I had that fixation. However, the TT-bracelet is more muted IRL that I had anticipated - so the TT will eventually go back on.

I can't see any downside to having another bracelet option. :)

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to STOP this thread in it's tracks...

Please, continue to minimize the "Smurf..." I'm telling you, I'm fine with it but he will not be happy...

Smurfs are for 6-year-old-people.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Does anyone have the means to try this mod on a 116613LN, I'd like to see that.

Looks good but I think it belongs on the TT bracelet. The bluesy is such an icon, to mess with it seems wrong to me.

Actually, I looked at the 116619 and considered it, but decided not to explore that avenue because of (in non-ranked order):

a) WG is soft
b) PCLs
c) Boring flat blue compared to sunburst dial

Wife insisted to change to the original bracelet. Not sure if this is anyway better.

While it looks really good, I prefer the TT bracelet.

Very cool. I'd change the crown to steel, that's the only bit that looks out of place for me.

Looks awesome with the brushed stainless bracelet. Would this bracelet fit on my 16613LN?
