“The band is lovely. The quick release is genius. My rating would be a 5 if the sizing were true. The jeweler measured the lug in accordance with Barton instructions. 15 mm. However, the band does not fill the lug and the pin falls out. (I later read a review that complained of the same problem. The pin is too short does not secure the watch band.) This was a gift to my brother for a special watch inherited from my father (along with two other Barton watch bands). Very disappointed that my brother now has to try to get Barton to address the problem. I don’t know if they will replace the bands or send longer pins.
Another disappointment was that 15 mm bands do not offer a choice of buckle colors. We wanted gold to go with the toffee brown alligator band, but had to settle for stainless steel. If we had known that the pin was not long enough to secure the band to the watch, we could have ordered 16 mm and gotten our choice of buckle colors.”
