BS-10 - GOOD ART HLYWD Model 10 Bracelet
-
When I saw the new batch dropped I immediately jumped on a 2A - 17 link (17.5 wrist).
Bought direct from GA because I didn't know if they'd last and I'd had my eye on them for a while, but part of me wishes I'd waited for IH to get some because it'd be like 3 days vs. 6 weeks of waiting even though I’m mere hours away... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Any chance of a AAA restock this year?
@marche8 Alex mentioned restock within the month about 10 days ago, not sure which sizes @ShopatIronHeart?

@Tago-Mago @marche8 none on order currently, sorry

@mecken88 I hear ya, the only stores that stock them in my country are on the opposite coast. It would be great if Ironheart / Good Art could have a printable template of all sizes. This way you could cut them out and sort of see how it would look on your wrist. In any case, if you order and want a different size, you're only out the shipping cost back to Ironheart. Hopefully I made the right choice with size A. I don’t think I would personally go smaller than AA.

Go with the B, I was worried it was going to be too big and heavy, but it's not, it's really awesome. I have a 7 - 7.5 inch wrist,, the 13 link, which is between 17cm and 18cm fits great.

Just received my AA and it's an absolute beast! I have a Hermes chain d'ancre GM and it pales in comparison both in heft and comfort.
16.5cm wrist, I tried the 17cm sizing on the IH website which corresponded to 16 links but it was so tight I couldn't get it past my wristbone. I ended up exchanging for the 18cm/17 link version and it fits perfectly; it doesn't slide around too easily thanks to the weight.

Went on a bit of a ride with this one.
First off, as I said before - I'm not in the habit of buying jewelry but thought the model 10 clasp was cool! It also happened to be our wedding anniversary. (18 years!) I bought her some really nice earrings but when she asked me what I wanted I figured why the hell not!
So it gets here, I take it out of the box and wow!!
The only problem was it was too big for my liking.
When I measured my wrist I got a bit over 7" so according to the guide I should get 18cm which is 16 links in size A. I only had this on long enough to know it was uncomfortably long. It moved around too much and into the top of my hand. I get that people including the owner of Good Art like that type of fit. It's just not for me. Too much of a physical distraction. So I quickly packed it back up, opened up a chat bubble with Graham and initiated a return through their new portal. within an hour I had it @ UPS and GoSport had it back in 2 days!
Now I ordered the next size down (17cm) because 16cm was sold out. I wasn't sure that it would be too big as well so Graham measured the inside circumference of the 17cm and it was 19cm. I took a usb cable and measured 19cm and it felt perfect on my wrist. Not too tight nor loose.
So Today UPS dropped off my replacement and it's perfect now. Fucking perfect!
As you can see, there's still room for it to slide up and down my wrist but not like it was before! I've only been wearing it for a day but so far I'm smitten.
It's got some great heft to it but at the same time feels really comfortable. Size A was the right move. It just feels and looks amazing. There's this satisfying visual Pop whenever I look at it. So hard to explain but I now get why people go crazy over this stuff. So the size up's physical distraction has been taken care of, but there's definitely a visual one now because I can't stop looking!!
It's got better contrast than my Sub and seems to outshine it!
Thanks again @Graham for smoothing out what could have been a bumpy ride. I feel like you guys should add "inner circumference" measurements to your size guide with these bracelets. Seriously, you measure your clothes so well, this type of thing should get similar attention imo. May help people understand what they're getting into better.
So yea, in any case, I fricken love this thing! Best thing award!!!

@Chibs good read! It’s truly a great bracelet and probably a grail piece for a lot of people in this group (me included)
And I agree, the more information and better understanding of fit and feel would help immensely when ordering something in this price range online, and for alot of over seas people international.
Maybe make a size chart that’s measured more accurate for different fits and feels. Like some companies go beyond for their customers. Like if you want the standard (how it’s meant) order this size, over
Sized buy this one and for a snug fit order this.So having the inside circumference would help customers dial in the fit for their liking.
Either way, great it was a happy ending for you, it looks great and its a truly beautiful piece!🤍

@mecken88 Thanks man! It’s tough knowing how something like this is going to fit. Even tougher knowing if you’re going to like the way it fits and feels from a practical sense. Soooo subjective! I think had I known the inner circumference to begin with, I probably would have ordered this 17cm size but who knows? I read this entire thread a couple of times over and that post by Ironheart Germany with a similar size wrist and model A was pretty much my experience.
I feel like Ironheart is going by the artist’s intent with how to size. This may be fine for 99% of their customers and I may be that 1%. Who knows? In any case I think it definitely wouldn’t hurt to have inner circumference measurements on their size chart and let us decide. In the end, this size feels waaay more comfortable for me personally and it only set me back an extra $35 in shipping so I’m happy!
