That looks nice. Myself I could not get on with those types of bracelets, they would pinch the hairs around my wrist. A nice leather strap with a stainless steel or chrome buckle will look nice. If you do decide to change make sure you remember where you keep the bracelet.

This is the newer version of the bracelet. You are thinking on the earlier folded link version, and yes, they can be "hair-eaters" if they are allowed to stretch and open up on the underside.

I have a C&I made folded link "rivet" bracelet on one of mine (it has been restored) and does not pull the hairs out. Very thin and light- almost like wearing on a leather strap actually.

The one shown above has solid links (possibly "hollow", but seamless center links) and they don't pull hair out.

Spot on!  They’re solid outer links with hollow, but seamless center links.  The only issue I can foresee is when the bracelet does develop more stretch there will be room to grab and pinch.  

I ended up ordering a dark brown smooth leather strap from DeBeer with polishes ss buckle.  I’ll post a pic when it gets in.

You know what?  I got the strap, put it on for about an hour and then reverted back to the bracelet.  Call me a purist, but I just couldn't...  I just couldn't keep it on there to save my life.  It looked good (sorry no pics - bummer I know), but I'll just save it for later when the bracelet wears to flimsy junk. 

And yes, happydude, I have entertained the idea a black croc strap.  Pics on google seem to make that option appealing also.  

Maybe I'll post a pic of it with the strap in place, but not installed.

    • interesting video nice to see the machine what it can do now I wonder what it costs and I'm sure it's not in my budget. Plus the video brought up questions but the website below answers the questions? What was bothering me was the size of his machine 4 mm because I thought it was bigger than that? But then it occurred to me that maybe they had variations it looks like four, seven and 10. With the seven and 10 being the best because way more tool positions in way more rotating tools. Although I bet you all the rotating tools are probably separate cost https://www.tornos.com/en/content/swissnano   Then as we been talking about Sherline. Just so that everyone's aware of this they have another division their industrial division where you can buy bits and pieces. I have a link below that shows that just in case you don't want to have the entire machine you just need bits and pieces. https://www.sherline.com/product-category/industrial-products-division/   Let's see what we can do with the concept I explained up above and bits and pieces. For one thing you can make a really tiny gear very tiny like perhaps you're going to make a watch. Then another version the center part is not separate it is all machined from one piece. Then fills gear cutting machines have gone through multiple of evolutions. A lot of it based on what he wanted to make like he was going to make a watch unfortunately eyesight issues have prevented that. Another reason why you should start projects like this much sooner when your eyesight is really good or perhaps start on watches first and then move the clocks then local we have from the industrial division? Looks like two separate motors and heads. Then it's hard to see but this entire thing is built on top of a much larger milling machine as a larger milling machine gave a very solid platform to build everything.   Then like everything else that had multiple generations are versions the indexing went through of course variations like above is one version and the one below was the last version. Now the version below I mentioned that previously and somewhere in the beginning to discussion and somebody else had one in their picture. As it is a really nice precision indexing. Then I wasn't sure if I had a the watch photos here is his unfinished watch. No he wasn't going to make a simple watch like none of his clocks were simply either what would be the challenge and that.    
    • Use a Portwest Howie lab coat. They are the biological type so they have tapped cuffs so you don't end up getting the loose cuffs of normal lab coats catching everything. 
    • Some of the Chinese tools ae great and can be purchased at a fraction of the price of Swiss ones, some are complete garbage and some I'm convinced are coming out the same factory as the branded ones.
    • I found this string about this problem. I've not gone through it all, but I believe it also mentions making a spring. If not in this string, the info is online.
    • No, I now realise it’s broken😥 ive looked for one online, but v. Expensive! im going to service as is, in the hope that  one turns up. Thank  you.
