This one confirm not SS, it's something like bead blast Aluminium. I have about 8 of this.

I think the only way is to replace the bracelet but the tone of new bracelet will not match my aging watch.....

YAH! It was the initial combination of the dial design and the velcro feel style strap that caught my eye when i bought this piece. Really fits the theme "western country side" well.

Digged another 10+yrs piece from my collection for exposure today...
Too bad, the 1/10 split second subdial is spoilt for a certain time.

One another IRONY ALUMINIUM Chrono that's 10+yrs. At least the subdial @ 2 is still working!
The RACING theme pattern clearly printed on the dial.

ALUMINIUM IRONY released 10yrs+ ago in 2001.
A little decorations of red hands, makes this piece looks more closer to RACING theme.

IRONY Chrono released more than 12yrs! Can't remember got it when...more than 10yrs if not wrong.
Zoom in can see the year of the release, dial doesn't look cheap! Luckily, the subdial doesn't like the others in the Aluminum series... couldn't work after more than 10yrs of ownership...
Polished, and chromy surface of bracelet and case... a headache, a finger magnet...
Cyclops free crystal... good and clear view on time reading!

IRONY Chrono released more than 10yrs! Can't remember got it when...more than 9yrs if not wrong.
Zoom in can see the year of the release, subdial doesn't look lack of details! Unfortunately due to the slightly darker tone, the subdial's lines gets easily ignored...
Polished, and chromy surface of bracelet and case... a headache, a finger magnet...
Odd cyclops, odd position... always thought that a droplet of water not removed... duh...
Surprisingly... there're lume applied on the well layout dial! But not so strong after more than 10yrs...

From the year printed on the dial, this model is definitely released more than 13yrs. However... i couldn't remember when did i get this, as i was very particular about the hands design...
Satin and silky blue dial, with bluish subdial hands. Luckily, the subdials are chromy colored, offers better contrast in split timing telling.
Polished, and chromy surface of bracelet and case... a headache, a finger magnet...
As with other IRONY Chronos... the crystal is plastic, and subjected to scratches...
