Zenith: Did you disassemble the watches yourself? I ask because that's well beyond my comfort zone.
Is the second picture the end result of the patination?

Zenith: I'm curious to know what's going on in the first picture.
Whether it's cleaning or patination, it looks ambitious.

Jaeger-LeCoultre: You're correct, the bracelet clasp has two micro-adjusters on either side of the butterfly-style folding arms, similar to the Rolex Easy-Link system.
Also, the easy-change system that makes the bracelet fast and easy to install and uninstall--the best I've experienced.

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Strap, without a doubt. I have the bracelet, but rarely wear it.
The issue is the end-links. The first articulation is well beyond the lugs, which causes the watch to wear MUCH bigger than when on a strap. Also, the tight tolerances between links cause the bracelet to bind, or kink. It's too bad, as the bracelet is beautifully made and solid.
