So I tried this. Loosening the strap made it marginally easier to fasten. But now the strap is marginally too loose. Gaaaah.

It's like this, but with a **** tonne more expletives:

I'm still chuckling at this one!!

As @New Shoes1 mentioned, it just takes time.

My son sends me watch content he finds on social media. This guy is an interesting watch. Any idea what the powder substance he uses to clean the bracelet?
I use a toothbrush every so often but this stuff seems to work wonders.

These types of watch videos are marsupialed. They're all staged and almost always show the wrong procedure/tools.

I use cocaine on mine and then remove the excess with a $100 bill rolled into a suction device. Seems to work fine and I feel great afterwards.

It's been a good 20 years since I last indulged but I'd be willing to relive my mispent youth if you are still holding.

$19k. Nice looking watch, though.

It's nice but not $19k nice.

It's nice but not $19k nice.

Its a shame, I do really like the everything about of this watch and the Type 1...I would definitely do it at $5K and entertain it at $10K but $19K is a bridge too far when you could get an ALS, Vacheron, or a pre-owned Patek.

c'est la vie...

I kept thinking about that one when seeking a chronograph. Looks sharp (for Wilsdorf sloppy seconds)!
