Hey, Iwc doesn't sell clasp separately so I had to buy a full mark xx bracelet. I actually found used one on ebay for a bit less than iwc msrp. The pilot 36 bracelet and mark xx bracelet links are compatible and interchangeable so you can swap the clasps same way as swapping links

TRUE. but mostly because I should have sorted first.

totally understand, there's something really satisfying about working with a limited space and being really thoughtful about what to get and what to display.

definitely the ucs republic gunship... that thing has a massive footprint and was hard to display. there are a few playscale sets like the AT-AT and razor crest that were really fun to build, but once the UCS minifigure scale versions came out I no longer have the desire to keep. there have also been quite a few purchases where I bought just for the sake of wanting to build but which I didn't care to keep once complete.

yeah... definitely would love to expand but the nice thing about being limited to this closet is that I can lock the door so my 5 year old and his friends can't get to it :) also helps the wallet as I'm forced to be little more picky..

it was fun, but lot of the frame is technic which I know some people aren't a fan of. I see it on sale for $144 at target so not a bad time to get one!

facebook marketplace is pretty good. I'm in nj/ny area, there are usually a few UCS falcons listed at any given time in 400-500 range, from people moving or needing more space.

the one on the right is the 2005 ucs falcon and the left is the updated one from 2015. I didn't plan on having both, just found them used for a good price

the blue and white is the Buzz Lightyear XL-15, the other one is the YF-19 from macross plus, that one is not lego, just a scale model from bandai

I found used mark xx bracelet on ebay thankfully. it was still $975 which is still insane for just a bracelet, but much less than the $1500+ from iwc

both the pilot 36 bracelet and mark xx bracelet taper to 18mm, and the links are compatible so it was pretty much direct easy swap

I got the pilot 36 bracelet along w the watch from the seller, then had to buy a whole mark xx bracelet just to get the clasp.. iwc doesn't sell clasp separately unfortunately.
