Since I experimented with a metal band application for my Vortex. I figured I’d start a new thread so it won’t get buried in the “Bracelet for Vortex” thread.
After finding out about Mr. Boschetti’s New Cave Dweller ratcheting buckle. I jumped off the fence and ordered it as well as a Strapcode PVD Super Engineer SS Band.
When both items arrived, I place them together to start the process, but was bummed that the last link that attached to the 6 o’clock side of the buckle was different (or wouldn’t allow the two to be joined harmoniously). Oh well, it’s not the first idea I had that didn’t work!
Later that night, I took the two out again and figure I’d see if the links would mesh together (on the 6 o'clock side)….and to my surprise….a perfect fit…..I mean perfect fit….and the link’s design, are a very close match.
I emailed Jay at MCWW and was planning on sending it off to have him bead blast the bracelet and buckle (since I wasn't sure about the PVD), but found that he’s not accepting any work for a month or so.
Anyways, since it’s getting hot here in the desert, I’ve been wearing it as is. And to tell you the truth, the black PVD is growing on me. I guess I’m use to wearing the Vortex on Ted Su’s dive buckle so the metal buckle doesn’t bother me.
OK, on to the photos…
SO what you'all think?
