I'm not an IWC purist but

I like the bracelet...
I think it gives a clean bright, sportive presence to a watch that was 'only' dressy before.
IWC does not have a definitive bracelet watch these days... (like AP or Rolex let's say) and so... why not this bracelet? There is no IWC bracelet-watch that has become an icon... except the verrrrrry old (and wonderful) Ingenieurs... love those but... it's been a long while since IWC had an iconic bracelet watch...
Shrug... so why not? I do not see it contradicting any obvious IWC DNA and I like it. I would absolutely prefer it over the strap.
However, yes, I 'get' that IWC needs to figure out its steel bracelet game ... and this is not definitive or strikingly 'IWC' but... it's fine and looks well-made...
Until they re-introduce/redesign the Ingenieur (which should be their definitive bracelet sport watch...) why not?
