The Sport Line will be made withot rubber ends in the future

I had a conversation with Mr Journe this afternoon and asked him about it. The reason he gave, was that the rubber was needed on the original aluminium case to protect this rather soft metal from dings. Later this piece, became transformed to a titanium case and the gold case and platinum, and the rubber part remained. In hindsight it was no longer needed, since these metals are not as soft as Au, and he has chosen to take the rubber parts out - across the entire line. 

I was at the bracelet manufacture today and saw platinum bracelets being finished, without the rubber.

I hope the rubber pieces are eliminated from the entire model line, especially the titanium models. M4

Thank you Sidtang.

But I have only seen the bracelets so far. But if you look at the picture in the top, that part seems to be replaced.

This is a huge improvement

Rubber in the bracelet has stopped quite a few potential clients I know of personally... myself included. Thanks !

I saw the other day looks much better
