(Interesting that the strap-only models’ cases have different reference numbers, 118138/9 vs 118238/9.)

I have a very vague recollection that the cases on these were slightly different, and would not accept the end links of a standard President bracelet. (I’m not sure whether this is true, or just my often-overactive imagination.)
I also believe the 118138 was limited to 500 pieces I believe. I remember it having something to do with the skin the band was made out of as well. Very hard to work with.
