 The steel bracelet was sold in 2017, to someone in the USA, after I decided I couldn't get on with it.  The steel bracelet was sold in 2017, to someone in the USA, after I decided I couldn't get on with it. 
  
-Following the appearance of the rate-error fault in 2018, I switched to my [[public:watches:inventory:seiko_skx007|Seiko SKX007]] on a Strapcode Oyster steel bracelet, and liked it so much I decided to buy another Damasko steel bracelet for the DA36, and to request a set of //additional// adjustment links to allow more variation in size. The longer links can be bought in sets of 2 pairs, which along with the 2 pairs that come with the bracelet, allow a smooth adjustment in tiny steps, almost matching the difference made by adding or removing a normal link. +Following the appearance of the rate-error fault in 2018, I switched to my [[..:inventory:seiko_skx007|]] on a Strapcode Oyster steel bracelet, and liked it so much I decided to buy another Damasko steel bracelet for the DA36, and to request a set of //additional// adjustment links to allow more variation in size.

-I've owned the DA36 now for over 5 years. After the repair, and getting the 2<sup>nd</sup> bracelet, it's rarely off my wrist.

-Still well within [[public:watches:cosc|]] standards ( -4 / +6 ) at around -2s/d as of May 2022. Rolex now guarantee their watches to run better than COSC, at ±2 s/d. My DA36 has been within this range for the last few years, and is only now starting to fall outside that range. It may wander back towards //zero// over time. Who knows how all the different variables inter-react to make up the overall rate error, and how they vary with time?+Still well within [[..:cosc|]] standards ( -4 / +6 ) at around -2s/d as of May 2022.
