I just thought I'd take a bit of time to finally try out whether a Speed bracelet from a Bentley actually fits an SA. And the answer is.............................













.......Yes and No! :roll:

"Yes" in as much as the spring bar locates exactly in the holes in the SA's lugs, the end-pieces fit right up against the case with no gap, and obviously the width is correct : but "No" in as much as the end pieces protrude a good 2mm further out than the lugs which, given the size of the SA, means that the bracelet doesn't hug the wrist near the case when you put it on. If you have something like 9" wrists you might get away with it, but it just didn't feel right to me.

So, a bit of a shame really as it looked pretty good and would give a more dressy option to the Pro II. And yes, I'm sorry guys, but it didn't enter into my micro-brain to take any pictures of it!! :oops: Doh!

Well, after that post there's only one thing you can do. Put the Speed back on and take a photo! Leaving us with that description and imagination is just cruel...

:lol: Well, I notice you also have both an SA and a 6.75 Aleister, and as your pics are much better than mine, I think you should try it out! :wink:

Cor, I wish I hadn't bothered now! :roll: :lol:

Let's be honest here - it took me long enough to get round to trying it out the once, so the odds of me doing it again are slim to anorexic! Sorry guys, you'll just have to make do with my fine literary description...... unless Admin or Aleister fancy stepping up to the plate. :wink:
