Patek 5712/1A Bracelet comfort question.
Dear Fellow Patek enthusiasts. I recently tried on a Patek 5712/1A and found the links on the bracelet a bit abrasive due to the sharp corners facing the skin. With fingers, one can definitely feel the sharpness on the corners of the links. It also feels ...
Wearing mine almost daily
Great comfort, no issues. Never experiences any discomfort with the case links you describe, my bracelet is sized to give a few mm space between the edges and the skin.

i own a 5980/1A and both sides of the bracelet edges are finished in the same manner and both are smooth
so im scratching my head here to be honest
Are you able to compare with another?
Do you think you might have a piece that slipped through QC? It is perfectly normal to have a pretty 'distinct' edge in places with small radius, but no burrs should be present. In terms of surface roughness a non dressed raw filed or CNCd feature will ca...
