Howdy Ron, D,

I called the fellows at SGUSA this morning, and I explained that the strap was not the one I was hoping to get.

After giving them the model number of the strap I wanted, he was a bit confused, hadn't heard of that one, and put me on hold a while to check things out.

Eventually, he said that had a few on order from Switzerland, and if I wanted, he would take back the strap I received, and mail me out the desired one no extra charge. Now that is fair!

Hey Ron, (I paid USD 147.50) do you find the strap fills in the lug space nicely? Is it comparable in dimension to the lug spacer of the bracelet?

Also, the clasp that I received seemed a heck of a lot less comfortable and well-made than the one on my bracelet. When it is snapped closed, it seems a bit flexy and loose, compared to the Bracelet clasp. Also, I thought you said there was a seahorse embossed on the inside of your clasp. There was none on mine.

I do not have a scanner or a digital camera, so I can't help you there, I am afraid.

I appreciate your help, and will look for some more when the strap does arrive.

a la prochaine...

Mus.
