Overwhelming amount of nays!
Thank you for your honesty though! I was just experimenting with what I could do with the watch. Nato sounds interesting, but I'm a bit apprehensive of putting it on a see through caseback, as you wouldnt be able to see the movement which is half the fun :p
Anyway incase anyone is interested, here is another shot of the 1815 with a few other pieces, this was at the grand Manila GTG

1815 Chrono on metal bracelet: Yay or nay?
I recently decided to put my 1815 chrono on a metal bracelet for a different, perhaps more casual look http://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/o618/arnold_cruz/700%20Club/DSC_6658.jpg What do you guys think? Is it a hit or a flop? Best, Enrique ...
Flop
I have an 1815 Chrono and I think there are many alternative ways to make it look more casual. Try a Nato strap in blue and gray. Try a cocoa brown strap with gray stitching. Try a gray croc strap. But I would skip the bracelet.
Totally agree with these suggestions and your thoughts on the bracelet.
A Navy Blue Nato is a surprising combo, at first thought, but how logical! Best, Nicolas
I also am not crazy about it but....
As long as you like it nothing else matters much!
Sorry mate...it's a nay for me.
Perhaps on a different bracelet. In any case, I can't stand the thought of the bracelet brushing against my precious metal case...so would have been a no for me, aesthetics aside Best, Horo
I think this watch would look great on bracelet
just maybe not this bracelet as my first choice. Does not look like a Lange bracelet, is that correct? Add some more pics if you are able.
No it is not..
.. a Lange bracelet, it was the bracelet of another one of my watches, a Longines, and watched to see what it would look like! In my mind I thought it would look good, but I guess the actual result was otherwise :/
Your version ...
looks cheap, to be honest. What do you think about this one? Could it work for you? Oliver ...
That is very nice..
Thanks Oliver. Yes, it looks cheap because it is cheap! It came from a $500 donor watch, I imagined it would look good in my head, but I guess in reality it was otherwise. Enrique
To me it should be ...
an "intregated" bracelet and to fit the colour I would prefer it in WG. In general I don´t have any problem with inexpensive bracelets, as long as they are well done. "Older" Baume Mercier steel bracelets come to my mind. But in your case it should be the...
It is very personnal
I like the idea on the real Lange bracelet, and I wouldn't mind on a better looking bracelet, it has a strong character what won't please anyone but I like this combination. cheers Francois
Better on straps...
... I think Lange watches fare much better on straps. If you like a more casual look, try a brown alligator strap.
Big Nay
I think ANY watch with steel bracelet is big no go. It just looks bad. The only watch that perhaps looks decent on a bracelet is either an old submariner (even though I think NATO looks much better) or a presidential bracelet on a Rolex day date in Platin...
Nay from me
Personally, a leather strap seems more at place with your beautiful 1815 Chrono.
Overwhelming amount of nays!

Nice post!
Nice photo of the GTG, but cant help wondering, why is it that the crown of the submariner is on the left? Is that a special version? This is my first time to see one.
That my friend...
... Is a custom job for someone who likes to wear his watch on his right wrist, and wanted it to still look the way it did on the left. it was a hit at the GTG!
