: That bracelet looks very good, and it is very similar to what the
: GMT was originally issued with. How did you got that end pieces
: fit, with lime and patience?

Thanks Armando! Actually a very nice (and cute) young lady at the locally owned "Bands and Batteries" mall store (where I bought the bracelet) fitted the band to my watch for me. She was very meticulous as she carefully adjusted the curved end pieces to nearly perfectly fit the Autavia with her needle nosed pliers. She apologized for taking so long (a mere 10-15 minutes or so) to fit the band end pieces to the watch. I profusely thanked her for her extra care and diligence in fitting the relatively inexpensive bracelet. It was very heartwarming to see such a young person take so much care and pride in her work!
