I slipped out of the house to get a haircut; I can hardly walk back in with one of these? The CFO (the Mrs) wouldn’t approve.

Lovely timepieces indeed; just wish there was a micro-adjustment

The grey dialed one is the one to get, IMHO.

Thanks for looking.

The bracelet of the MR can be significantly improved with a 1.5 link, offering a more precise fit that is neither too tight nor too loose. This adjustment can be easily performed with a proper screwdriver.
Dealers are often willing to provide a 1.5 link for fitting purposes, allowing potential buyers to assess the comfort before committing to a purchase.
The humorous scenario of encountering tempting watches during a mundane errand resonates with many collectors, highlighting the pervasive nature of horological temptation.

Great photos! I think the 1.5 link would solve any fitment issues.

I was wearing my MR a bit on the loose side. After M4 posted on the 1.5 link, I bought one as well. I now find it "perfect". Not tight, but not loose enough to slide back and forth. The bracelet is very easy to adjust with a proper screwdriver. You could always tell the dealer you need to try it on with a 1.5 to see if it will then be purchasable... I am sure they will oblige the request!
