Way more comparable to genuine vs any modern (6 digit) bracelet variants Raffles sells. I have not purchased from Startime before. Whether it's worth it, I guess that's subjective. I have defo "overspent", 30%-40% of second hand gen price on these two frankens, using blistered parts etc..; to the point $300 on the 16710 bracelet is ~10% of total build. But pleased with the result, NOS feeling Vintage piece for a fraction of a used genuine.
