 |  Subject: Anvil . . .  Mon May 03, 2010 4:21 am | |
| . . . booted it around as to whether I wanted to try an Anvil or an oyster with a MM clasp on my Sumo. A deal over at WUS on a new never sized Anvil made it a no-brainer. For half a c-note I dove on the Anvil.
Very nicely made braclet. Great fit/finish, friction pin sizing along the entire length, both sides . . . signed Seiko clasp . . . . the shortfall is the folded end links. The end links are very thick though, I would guess they are made from metal close to 2mm thick. They fit perfect, as well as the stock solids do.
Even though the Suno is regarded as a dress diver, the stock bracelet just leaves a little to be desired for me. Picky,picky. So, for the money I took a shot at it . . . after all I love a Watchadoo . . .
. . . . Stocker . . .
   . . . Anvil . . .
. . . lots of extra links, 4 for me . . .         . . . . might as well fix the the Inshmicta as well ( Thanx Trevor, the MaraTech is great! )
  . . . . AND . . . the first lume shot I ever pulled off!!!!!
 . . . . the Anvil wears really comfy, the finish is a little off matching the Sumo though. Overall, it gives me a change if I want it . . . .  |

| Nice job! Thanks for ALL the photos. I'm still thinking that I will stay with the OEM bracelet as it really does dress up the watch and I am wearing it more as a Dress Diver. The Anvil looks to be on par with my Watchadoo (with more links available for adjustment  ) and much as I like it on my Monster I think you're right - it's too toolish for a dressy look. |

| Looks pretty good. I was impressed with the Anvil and yeah I would prefer solid endlinks but the folded ones are pretty good. Good fit to the case which is most important IMO. |

| That bracelet works RIDICULOUSLY well with the watch Randy !  Honestly, it seems like it was meant to look this way. The new bracelet looks so good, that it helps draw your eyes into the entire design of the watch. It completes a classy, sporty look perfectly, and evidently comfortably too ! Congratulations ! GREAT job !!! GREAT pictures !!! ____________________________________  | |

| I think with the Anvil the Sumo is less of a dress diver and more of a tool diver .
One of the big characteristics of the Sumo is that it's a great dress
diver, a watch you can even wear in a suit, so at least in my eyes the
Anvil gets in the way a bit. As a dress diver the stock bracelet makes
the watch look more refined. |
