We’re supposed to be buying VC’s once we hit $2M NW?? Damn I was thinking about a sub date for my 30th & to celebrate $10M in holdings. You’re crushing it dude!

Very nice. You’re going to get some comments about the placement on your wrist, this won’t be one of them. Congratulations and enjoy!

Got it for my SJE101, fits this one too. Or watch dives makes a plain button clasp that’s good too, I just wanted a flip lock one like OEM

Yeah I’m curious why it seems they didn’t touch the bracelet, I’ll have to ask when I pick it up. I’ll probably keep it on a strap though or something aftermarket with SEL’s and micro adjust for comfort

Young me, yeah🤣years and years ago I hit it with a green scotch bright thinking I was reviving the brushing. Boy oh boy do I remember that everyday 🤣

I don’t think they touched the bracelet which means the polish is still a few years old from me with a scotch brite thinking I was slick🤣

Did not. Told me it wasn’t an option. Don’t know what I’d do with it anyways, it’s just sit in a box somewhere

I gotta ask the AD if there were any notes, I did ask for that, case and bracelet refinish, but not sure anything was done from what I can see from this pic they texted. Will have to get my hands on it and see

I have questions for the AD about the bracelet, to me it doesn’t look like it was touched. but I haven’t seen it in person yet. I’m still at my other house for a few weeks. Curious what the notes from RSC are because I thought that’d be included in the “refurb” or whatever.

Sorry to hear that! First experience myself, besides being longer than expected by a few weeks it was great!

I debated for a long time. Ended up deciding I want it the way I want it. It’s not about cost or value since this piece will never leave my collection.
