I love the look, but you got some 'splaining to do Lucy! What safety reasons are keeping you from wearing it on the C&I? Can they be resolved so that you can wear it? Will it be expensive? Did the seller make you aware of the issue? Sorry for my ignorance, but I've never really looked into these bracelets.

Well for one lack of a safety latch. The bracelet is really timny, and due to the fact that it has rivets on the side I'm afraid I may catch them on fabric and pull them loose. It's fantastic for every day where as long as you are careful with it when I would not want to lose the head because of the bracelet. If you know what I mean.

Ah, that makes sense. The lack of a flip lock on the clasp of my SM300 results in the clasp popping open occasionally when I am flexing my wrist at a hard angle.

I had the same problem many years ago when I had a date just. I used to always play foosball and the damn watch would always pop off and end up falling on the floor. Nobody plays foosball anymore so I guess I have nothing to worry about.

The end links are quite ill fitting I guess I'm going to have to play with them to get a decent fit it tends to rattle around a lot as well. I guess that's the beauty of these bracelets the tinny sound, and the fact that they are simply what they are, cheap pieces of crap that we pay close to $1000 for. Ha ha.

I have battled the loose endlinks myself.
You have to bend the inner wing that the covers the springbar down toward the bracelet.
Also might have to reshape it round if (it/they) have become flat from riding on the springbar all these years.

I'll give that a try Roscoe, right now I've installed the 93150 simply becuase I'm doing a lot of outdoor activity this month and I really don't want to lose it. I really don't want to sell it since I love the look and I'll only regret it and end up trying to find another one. I have battled the loose endlinks myself.

I took your advice about the ELs and they fit much better now, so much I decided to leave it on for now. Thanks Roscoe.
