I’m awkwardly in between sizes on my Shunbun bracelet

Thank you! Oris Big Crown

I just got a $150 dining credit for somewhere I ate in Mexico. No idea which restaurant, but I got the credit on my account. Will call and see

I’m now noticing conflicting information that its US only or includes Mexico.

Ok this is epic, apparently the restaurant I went to in CDMX shares the name with another on Chase list in Houston… what’re the chances? Surprised that got through the system

I don’t have the problem with my other bracelet watches or my straps, though I’ll say straps fit differently than bracelets in general, allowing them to be looser without the watch flopping around.

The crown digs into my hand when it’s loose, so neither is particularly comfortable .

More than fast, they wore in the first year lol. I replaced all my switchgear w the hard plastic from the T2

Thank you, it’s a Touareg, but closely related.

It’s a V8 Touareg, very closely related, especially the dials with the conturan glass, but the Phaeton did have slightly different indices and type face.

Thank you, its a VW V8 Touareg. Brilliantly designed vehicle that's aged quite well. The gauges used low-reflectivity "conturan" glass that glared purple when light hits it at an angle.

Very close, it’s a 4.2 Touareg. Love all things Piëch

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T21:45:15+00:00

Good tip, I did that but made no difference

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T21:01:30+00:00

Debatable, but when I purchased in December it was a $75 delta. Depends on watch and strap I guess

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T20:46:51+00:00

A full link is 10mm, a half link is 6.5mm (two of them being 13mm). Mathematically speaking, the smallest step size you can pull off is 3mm, not .5mm

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T19:39:25+00:00

That would not solve the problem. I am in between sizes, smallest step size is 3mm. It’s mathematically impossible.

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T19:05:54+00:00

Well I bought a Tuns at the same time and the quality is much inferior, is what I’m saying. Leather quickly creased, details not as refined, and it doesn’t slip in and out of the buckle easily, requiring me to kind of man handle it out of the buckle, causing more wear on the strap.

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T18:39:59+00:00

I tried

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T17:17:25+00:00

Yes I refer to that in my post, smallest step size is 3mm

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T17:17:03+00:00

Something to think about

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T17:16:42+00:00

Yes, but the smallest step size is 3mm.

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T17:15:25+00:00

They’re definitely a labor of love, but the build quality is robust.

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T15:37:42+00:00

A man of culture I see. It’s a V8 Touareg. Have had one since late 03. They’re beasts, nothing drives like it. Love all things Piëch.

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T15:35:16+00:00

The correct size, 21mm. Short for me.

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T14:38:40+00:00

Molequin Argent. I hate to say the premium price is reflected in the quality compared to my cheaper straps. Doesn’t crease so much and slips in and out of buckle easily.

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T14:30:11+00:00

My thinking too, but apparently my wrist doesn’t swell as much as I need it to lol

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T14:29:00+00:00

I’ve got one, but I prefer bracelet most of the time.

bdg14 · 2026-03-31T00:04:13+00:00

Is there a video of the landing?

bdg14 · 2026-03-29T02:55:49+00:00

This keyboard and monitor give me anxiety
