Review on Gilden Gator Grain Calfskin Watch Bracelet by Christopher Wells

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GREAT design, extremely versatile, ready to use right out of the box

Love the design. It is easily adjustable in both lug width and lug spacing to fit a variety of watches. There may be other models with this feature, but this is the only one I could find. Eyelet Width: This is configured for 24mm eyelets with 18, 20, and 22mm attachments. Cleat Spacing: This is set to a maximum distance between bars of around 50mm and can be changed to 5 or 10mm less using the four pre-punched holes. To set it up for what I believe to be 44mm bar spacing (Stuhrling 891) I moved ONE clamp to a closer hole. It works great. My wrist is about 6 1/2. The pre-punched buckle holes are reduced to 7 3/8 inches. I can drill another hole. This thing is ready to use. Rigid, inflexible, tough, oh god, tough. She is not soft. that it will have a round shape around my wrist (including the end of the strap). As a result, it sits on my wrist and is very comfortable. It's like wearing a metal bracelet versus soft, flexible leather that doesn't fit. Bad or bad just so you know.Overall VERY satisfied. I should probably give it 4 stars because it's tough as hell, but the design is great. Update 01/25/19 - still looks great. well shaped and quite comfortable. This group is pictured with a tribute to Stuhrling 891.05 Daytona. This is quite a large watch and it goes well with this cuff.
