Review on ⌚ Gilden President Style Non Expansion Two Tone Stainless: The Perfect Timepiece for Discerning Tastes by Enes Patiag

I have just completed the final fitting of this bracelet and this will be my first review. After some time I wear, I will update if necessary. This group pretty much replaces the ones I've had for years. I love the way she looks more than a few other bands I've looked at. I'm already familiar with resizing, so the reviews complaining about the links didn't bother me. The links have a polished high gloss finish in the center and a satin (or matte) finish on the outside. My previous band was the complete opposite, but this one still looks good. The contrast is very pleasing to the eye. With spring-loaded adjustable ends, it fits any 18-23mm watch case, which is convenient. You don't have to worry if you measured your body correctly. The clasp is secured by a secondary locking mechanism that folds over the clasp, snaps into place and remains tightened. I like this band compared to others I've seen because it doesn't look big and chunky. I would like to refer to the links and make adjustments to the size as some reviews are complaining about this. One review was titled, "No one can set it up except a jeweler." It's not true. All you need is a little patience, a few simple tools, and a little knowledge of how to insert PIN codes into links. One of my images shows two remote links and their contacts. Instead of spring pins, this belt has flat L-shaped pins. Another picture I have (with a yellow arrow) shows where you can use a tool to pull the pin out. I used a flat head screwdriver, a small hammer (to hit the end of the screwdriver) and needle nose pliers to grab the pin once it had slipped out enough. To start, I do my work on a towel to avoid scratches and to provide some grip. I also place the link with the slot (yellow arrow) facing me, which is actually the opposite of what you see in my picture. If I take out a needle, I knock it out myself. To do this, insert the tip of a flathead screwdriver into the slot until it engages the pin. Tap the end of the screwdriver until the pin slips out far enough for the pliers to grab. If the screwdriver slips off, simply slide the corner back onto the pin. There are small arrows on the links to indicate in which direction the pins should be removed. To put it back together, simply align the links, gently push the pin back in until it clicks into place, and pinch with pliers. Size adjustment with clasp. My last picture shows the clasp and where you make those small adjustments. Once you've removed the links you need, you can make small adjustments to the clasp by inserting a paperclip or something else into the hole, pushing out the spring bar, and moving it to a different set of holes. This is great because removing links often doesn't give the right size. My wrist is about 7 1/2" and I had to remove four links and also adjust it to fit the second largest hole set at the clasp. I hope you find it useful. I'm giving it 4 stars simply because it's a little harder to make this one Kind of links/pins to remove if you are unfamiliar with this but mostly because I just got this group and haven't had a chance to test them yet.I will come back after a while to update my review. Update: I've had this watch strap for just over a month.I took it on vacation where I wore it every day.As mentioned in my review it replaced an almost identical watch strap..This strap works the same as mine dude. It's comfortable and I think it looks good. The clasp closes firmly and securely. After removing the right amount of links I needed I made a micro adjustment to the clasp made to make them a hair's breadth. It's nice to have these small adjustments that can be made fairly quickly. At this point, it looks like this streak will last for many years to come. The only reason I had to replace the old one was because I needed to add links, but I lost my replacement links. This tape is durable and good looking.
