Hi Gerald, good lineup and summary this week! Regarding the XAB511 bracelet on that 6145-8050, there's no image that fully shows the bracelet unobstructed (7th image is the best but 12 o'clock side is obstructed by the price tag sadly). However, based on images 7 & 9 it seems the the 6 o'clock side of the bracelet only has 11 links whereas the 12 o'clock side has at least 12 links (if not 13, though it's hard to determine due to the price tag obstructing the links next to the lug). I've found at least two images online of the XAB511 bracelet with 14+12 links so I believe the present example doesn't have a full length bracelet. Others such as Ricky (who is the bracelet expert) can perhaps chime in!
6186-8000 #2 is a pretty obvious redial despite the bad pictures. The minute track between the date window and the 20 mark could be described as a “train wreck”.
Not going to disparage the 6186 8000 too much. It’s still nice and blue, right in the middle of the VFA liquidity band and tabletop wet sanding can do wonders for that crystal (small chunks missing are a sign of authenticity at this point imo) get the sapphire while you can though))

My 6156-8010 just arrived this week! That and the blue 8050 the standouts for me this week. Solid variety too

6186 8000 #2
Surprised he spelled VFA correctly. Creep.
The bad guy 43999 even trying for a sought after soft brass crown look!

Just look at that pointed A. Mentioned here only because I know he’s too lazy to fix it
