Fantastic and quite moving story

What great persistence and earned good fortune. I would preserve the provenance of the steel bracelet, archive it and then wear the LeCoultre with a black leather strap. Worn straps can be replaced but that bracelet is unique and historical. Best, Clive
What a fascinating story!
