I am excited to have an Ed White 321 coming in next week. Would anyone happen to know the size of the screws on the bracelet? Thank you

Wow thank you for putting this together!! Before reading this I totally understood why people would build large spend histories and wait or pay Grey prices for a Snoopy; couldn’t for the life of me understand why the same for the 321. After doing some homework and reading write ups like this now I get it 100%. Beautiful piece and thank you again for sharing!

Thank you for the well thought out review, as well as the awesome pics! I love these speedmasters. Still not sure about the white dial though, but to each their own. :)

Not sure that was really the comparison here, but at minimum 6x the market price of a 321, I won’t fight you for a 6263

I haven’t seen this photo before and thought I’d post it. The legend, Buzz Aldrin himself wearing the modern cal 321 in steel.

Question for 321 owners. I recently aquired mine and I'm trying to decide how many links to have on each side. Right now I have 3 removable links on each side. I am wondering if the watch would be more balanced with 4 on the 12 o'clock side and 2 on the 6 o'clock side.

I've got 4 links on the 6 o'clock side and 5 on the 12 o'clock side and it feels balanced to me. Sometimes when the weather is hot though it feels a bit tight on my wrist.

I noticed there are two small holes on the clasp, are these for micro adjustments?

I think I will try moving 1 link over to the 12 o'clock side and see if that feels more balanced...overall size is dialed in just trying to get the "right" balance.

Yes the tiny holes on the clasp are for a micro adjustment....it looks like its like a equivelent of a half link. I had mine on the outer hole with 2 links on 6 o'clock side and 3 links on 12 o'clock side...but ended up with a better fit by adding one link and moving to the inner hole on the clasp...

On my 7” flat wrist I have 6 removable links at 12 o’clock and 4 at 6. I also have the micro adjustment on the clasp on the first (tightest) hole setting. This allows the clasp to be perfectly centered and I can slip a pinky finger under the clasp with no problem.

Overall I have to wear it a bit looser than I normal would choose.

It’s the one thing about this watch that’s not perfect (lack of bracelet micro adjustment on the fly), but I suppose we can live with it though, as it keeps the clasp slim, comfortable and true to the original design
