...the milestone birthday and the lovely new watch.  The 5167/1A is a terrific timepiece.  I have it in the steel rubber strap, rose and your steel bracelet model smile  The bracelet reminds me of a 1980's Ebel wave-bracelet.  Very Miami Vice - in a cool sort of way. It's a great traveling watch and I've been wearing mine for many days over this Christmas/New Year holiday. I've noticed the clasp is a bit on the weak side with the steel bracelet model, not sure why, but it pops open a bit more than the other two (i've tried bending the metal out but it keeps returning to it's weak position). Perhaps it's just my watch and not endemic to the bracelet, but something to keep an eye on.

i've found today that my wrist swells a bit in the heat and may need to get the bracelet altered a bit. The other thing i may do is use a rubber strap on it in summer and resort back to the bracelet in winter. Im assured in a previous post that this is do...
