Frogmantles arrived today. I tried different bracelts.
These watches are beautiful and I recommend to buy them.
There is some level of back play in the bezels but otherwise they are great.
Now, the bracelets.
The 5 link jubilee style is from Aliexpress. I’m lucky because the end links fit very well! I love it!
The suede one looks better in real life than on photos. It goes well with the tropical colors, but nothing special.
I prefer metal.
The factory original is a bigger puzzle than almost anything I had to solve recently. When you think you finished, you realize you need to start all over again.
Removable links have different sizes, so it can happen that you cant close your micro adjustment, because the last link you put there is too wide, or it can happen that one link is noticeably wider than the next one in the chain.
And you also need to consider symmetry, roughly equal lengths for both sides of the bracelet…
When I finally figured out what to do, the screw in one critical link just started to spin without functioning… 🙃
Nevermind, I started it all over with the next Frogmantle bracelet!
When it was finally done, it felt like I solved the puzzle and now I’m a proper Frogmantle owner!🐸
Cheers 😉
