Review on Unbeatable Style: Stainless Bracelets - Deployment Brushed Polished by James Holker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great comfort - does not pull your hair. There are some small flaws in the build quality but overall a very good product.

I fitted this strap to an old Hamilton watch. There were some very subtle but noticeable tolerance issues between the watch's 18mm band width and 18mm lug width, which required adjusting a lug outward to get the band to fit. Interestingly, this only happened at one end of the bracelet/watch side. I don't have an electronic caliper to determine if it's a bracelet or a 50 year old watch. Another issue is that one of the connector pin ejection holes had a metal tooth (see red arrow) that prevented the pin from being removed. This only happened on one link, so it didn't stop him from adapting, but it's just weird. Aside from these things, the brushed and polished portion of the links is immaculate and the links of the bracelet move freely. Tolerances are tight there, so don't pull your hair. The center panels of the deployment clasp are stamped rather than stamped for a luxurious feel. There is no taper from the eyelets to the clasp. Comes with 8 spring bars in case one of them snaps while trying to install the strap. The included pin removal tool is metal, so when you push the pins out you can put some tape on the sides of the lugs to prevent scratching the links. look without resorting to the extension bracelet it was originally on. Without the fine workmanship mentioned above, it would have been five stars.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Strap
