Hmmm, did you buy it new or used?

Does it have screws for each link (like in the photo by Loosetoe on post #3328), or push pins?

Please email me the serial, I'll look into it for you.

I actually forgot about the micro-adjust feature when I first sized the bracelet.

Where the butterfly clasp meet, there are two buttons on either side of both clasp points. You have to push both button and pull slightly on the bracelet to pull out the extension.

It works quite well, and I prefer it to the VC Overseas implementation.

If you've already tried to look for those buttons, never mind this post.

I still needed one oversized link to make the fit perfect and the micro-adjust provide the right amount of relief on tight days, but it all works perfectly now.

I’m personally not a huge fan of precious metal sports watches, but that gold case/blue dial combo is absolutely a looker.

I've gotten more than a few posts from Czapek about the new yellow and rose gold Antarctiques.....HOWEVER,

The first 2 posts had dead links....wouldn't go to the landing page for the new releases.

Then the 3rd did the trick, but with a big caveat, at least for me.

It briefly showed the landing page, but then the scare banner for the cookie policy came up. But when you clicked on the cookie policy, it wouldn't go there. Therefore, couldn't read it.

It also did not give you an option to opt out of marketing, which I believe is a legal requirement. It is in CA, and I believe in the EU.

So I couldn't actually get to the landing page, or didn't want to without having the option to opt out of marketing and sharing of PI or without viewing the cookie policy.

For everything Czapek does right, there are a few things here and there that are frustrating.

I am confused by the pricing listed on their site for the new Mount Erebus!

Rose Gold on Alligator 27.5k CHF
Rose Gold on Rubber 31.0k CHF
Yellow Gold on Alligator 29.0k CHF
Yellow Gold on Rubber 34.8k CHF

Why is the rubber strap version so much more, and why the big jump in price for the Yellow Gold on rubber?

So these are limited edition for now, but could be more batches made later? So not really a limited edition?

Full rose gold piece is nice, that bracelet looks great in rg.

MOUNT EREBUS DEEP BLUE FULL ROSE GOLD 5N - 52,300.00 CHF

Sorry, I've been doing, well... watch stuff... all day, and haven't had time to come visit.

The rubber is more than the alligator because the rubber comes on a deployant buckle (in gold, heavy and $$$) and the alligator comes on a pin buckle.

The YG is more because we made less of them, and economy of scale with the case and bracelet folks.

USA prices are:

RG (LE 100):
$59,000 Gold Bracelet
$35,000 Rubber/Deployant
$31,000 Croco/Pin buckle
$66,000 Bracelet and Rubber
$62,000 Bracelet and Croco

YG (LE 20):
$61,000 Gold Bracelet
$36,400 Rubber/Deployant
$32,800 Croco/Pin buckle
$68,700 Bracelet and Rubber
$65,100 Bracelet and Croco
