Well, the work in getting this converted seems to have turned out OK. Does it fit OK on your wrist?

The Co-Pilot looks the part in Yellow against your Emergency. I guess this is not a combination most who own an Emergency would have thought possible, given the adjustments you have carried out to make this compatable. Takes imagination to put this together. Clever. Well done.

Yes. I saw it already before in the website but i didnt know how was did it.
Cause i didnt saw all these pic's which teach you how to do it.
But i think that broking link which is shown in these pic's not a good idea.
What i did that just i bought the end link and fited with the utc without any broken links.
Anyway. Thank you for your comment bro. :lingsrock:

The "broken" link is not a good idea but is required so that the bracelet looks authentic. :wink: That's where the expense comes in. Why do the conversion at all if you're not going to make it look authentic? I would have to see better pictures of your bracelet at the clasp end to make a proper comment but I would suspect that all the links on the south side of your bracelet are removeable. i.e. you have no "fixed" links.

Granted, it's a more economical way of doing it and I am sure that the watch and UTC wear fine and do the job for you but for me, it has to not only wear correctly, but look correct too.

Nice job though :lingsrock:

Yes, as I thought, but hey if it works for you it's a success. :D

I would guess though that you have slightly thinner wrists than me. However, the bracelet is slightly imbalanced as you have;
North side :8 links (including watch head and clasp endlinks)
South side: only 3 plus the UTC (count the UTC as roughly another 2 links) equals 5 links
Total links =13 (still taking 2 as the UTC)

I wore mine with (as you do)
North side: 8 links
But
South side:5 (plus two for the UTC) =7
Total 15 links.

To make the change from 15 to 13 links one would normally take out one link from each side and not 2 from one side only. So you should really have 7 links North and 4 (plus the UTC) = 13 links.

Consequently. the clasp will have "crept" round your wrist towards you a little instead of sitting roughly central on the underside of your wrist. If one link was to come out it would normall be from the south side.

But as I say if it works for you, it's a win-win situation.

Anyway, less of all this link talk. It's made me realise I should have never sold the yella fellas at all. :lol:
