Seriously thinking about getting a 1803 with a champagne dial with the bracelet. @dbhak22 that is what have, correct?
Never thought I would be this interested in a gold watch. There is just something about the 1803 though. I going to a local watch shop in the next couple of weeks to try one on. I go back and a forth if it is too gaudy. For owners, especially the younger ones, do you get many remarks on your 1803? They usually positive remarks? I know it shouldn't matter. I'm just curious on general public impression of the watch. |

Yeah. I have gone back and forth about the bracelet. My thought is have the bracelet and I can always put on a strap. The bracelet is what really makes the watch special IMO.

Just remember that the springbars from the bracelet won’t work on a strap with ease and you’ll need to get solid gold springbars for a strap. Stainless springbars will damage a gold case.

Consider white gold - this tunes down the bling factor. Stealth!

Yes, the bracelet makes it flashier but I love wearing it that way with a tee. And it looks less flashy but equally great on a nice leather strap.

Very beautiful set and look perfect on your wrist too. Mine with the original president bracelet. I think it will look good with the leather too especially the black color leather. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 1802 with claw markers. I’ve read that the claws were only for French/Swiss markets, izzat so? English day wheel of course, but that could’ve been changed across the decades ... . |

I think it never been polished, I found it in very good condition. I was a bit warried from the size, 36 mm was a bit small. I love it now, it is one of the favourite of my collection.
