i have around 15-20 new bracelets i store individually taken off watches i own as well as aftermarkets.

i have found few products out there where i can store each bracelet so that it just not move around, shake, rub on itself, but some are limited in capacity and some are expensive.

anyone have suggestions on how to store many watch bands in something that's space saving like a folio with felt pockets or foam slots inside ?

here are some examples of things i found online

hello,

it's on a miltat right now ... i was wondering if there is anything out there that gives a smoother cleaner integration with the case, such as smaller gaps and better blending to the lugs ?

tried looking around for a while and ended up going with this miltat since it's pretty close

i bought a bracelet that i think works well with my Orient Star - with the idea to modify it by removing enough metal from each side of the end links and the first attached link to fit it on the 21mm width of the watch lugs.

this particular bracelet doesn't come in a 21mm variant - it's either 20mm or 22mm.

i have a tool dressing stone that i thought about using to do this ... slowly remove about 1.1 to 1.2 mm (about .55 to .60mm per side).

sides of bracelet are high polish and the...

just wondering what pinning configuration is used by Orient Star for their bracelet links ...

are they push out pins, screwed in, or multi-piece pins like on Omega watches ?

specific model in question is the RE-AV0004N00B

was checking out some older versions of multi year that have a gmt ring, slide rule, etc.

they look appealing but not sure about buying one, since the year ring could be around 10 years old already.

their latest model is also adjustable from the crown, so i'm wondering if the new multi year models out now have a better/more robust movement ?

i'd like to buy one and they are decently priced but if anyone has advice on this series, please share your thoughts.

would not be a daily beater...
