Nope, same issue as with e.g. 5131/1P.

Huge gap between case and strap. Similar but couldn’t confirm that it’s identical.

I went to my AD with the intention to buy it but I really couldn’t get over the bracelet. My main issue is that the bracelet is straight and doesn’t narrow towards the clasp; looks odd. ...
Good for you for passing.

Comparing to others you own, I don't see when this would get worn anyways.
Thanks, Michael.

I think you are absolutely right. 👍
I am not a fan

Of that bracelet either. It just looks “Thick” and unsophisticated..Some tailoring would help it out.

Looks a tad old-fashioned and clumsy to me, not on par with case and dial greatness. Cheers Marc
Got your point

It would have been more high end. This type of bracelet construction is less expensive & complexe to produce, it’s the same link. They were probably trying to save some cost on finishing. Maybe a croco matte black or green instead?
A pity.

I find the watch itself, and the dial, very alluring. But I agree with you, the bracelet is not on the level of sophistication a 5905 demands. Cheers, Daniel
Many thanks, Fabrizio.

There’s more to come anyway, and with limited financial means, one has to prioritize.
Agree 110%

I don't care for this bracelet. I do have the 5960/1A and never changed that bracelet for a strap. I actually like that bracelet a lot.
Strap on the 5905/1A

I fitted a strap to mine, have a little look! [External link eliminated --- FabR]
Great choice

Good to see that you only purchase the watches that gives you the right feeling. I haven’t been able to see the watch live yet. But I follow the same rule myself never purchase watches before I have tried on my wrist and it feels perfect 👍
