Thanks everyone!

Thanks
I think I need to go with the Trieste, also as I have smaller wrists I will
go with the buckle as clasps do not center well quite often with straps
when worn on smaller wrists.
Trying them on again isn't really an option... My local AD is just someone
who I can't stand... They are HORRID at customer service so I will be ordering
from an AD elsewhere I have done business with and has amazing customer
service.
I love the bracelet for the design behind it, the micro adjust feature was
what I LOVED about my Rolex DSSD BUT the Glashutte adjustment makes the
DSSD look like a joke.
Still I have been drawn to the watch since day one on the Trieste (I think the rubber
looks horrid) and the bracelet looks dressier than I like for a sporty watch like this on
a daily basis.
If I had both I know I would wear the Trieste 99% of the time. Id wear the bracelet when
traveling mostly or dressing up....
I may save up to buy the bracelet someday after I have the watch but I think I am going to
start with the Trieste.

Sports Evo line with Bracelet or Trieste???

By: WatchTimes : June 16th, 2009-22:10

OK The recent bracelet post got me thinking.... I am picking up a model in the Sports Evo line. I already know which and am raising the funds. I am having a serious debate though. I have 6.8 in wrists and know some deployment clasps can be uncomfortable o...

TRIESTE.....

By: MiniCooper : June 17th, 2009-05:53

without a doubt- it is the most comfortable strap that I have ever worn Go with the buckle, not the clasp as it is more comfortable Only drawback is that it cannot be dressed up Cheers

Only you can tell if the long-term effects of wear should sway . . .

. . . you from away from a bracelet, Yogi - that's a purely personal call. My personal preference is for straps equipped with deployants; straps, because I find them to be more comfortable and a pleasure to replace when necessary, and deployants to minimi...

tough call

I went with the SS Bracelet and I love it. Ideally I would love to have both but buying either after the fact is insanely expensive. Not sure how well the strap will hold up to water exposure over time, that's why I went with the SS.

I personally prefer the Trieste strap--very comfortable and, after wearing one almost everyday for more than a month, extremely durable (no sign of wear so far). However, if you are inclined toward the bracelet or undecided, I agree with Doc and suggest y...

Interesting but I would

By: gharba : June 17th, 2009-11:53

I say order both

Tough call indeed

Hi JYogi, as I mentioned in an earlier post , I had my reasons to change from the Treste strap to he bracelet later on. Of course and as always you do not need to share them. But I am still captured by the overall look of the Sport Evo an the Trieste stra...

Thanks everyone!

The Trieste strap is available in a short length . . .

By: Dr No : June 17th, 2009-22:12

. . . of 75 mm x 105 mm, so a deployant will most likely fit comfortably in the correct centered position if you specify a short strap from your dealer . . . cordially, Art

I do not like to disagree, Art,

By: stromer : June 18th, 2009-00:08

however I had the short version of the Trieste strap on my Sport Evo together with the clasp. At least in my case and with my perhaps unusually shaped wrist (who knows, I never compared it with others) the problem was that the clasp appeared to be simply ...

I had....

a similar experience with the short strap and Trieste... Cheers

Whats size wrists do you guys have??

By: WatchTimes : June 18th, 2009-10:48

What size wrist do those of you have who wear, have worn the Trieste? My wrist is 6.8 in Let me know your wrist size, which combinations you tried on and what worked best for you. Thanks!

7 inches...

By: MiniCooper : June 18th, 2009-18:43

and prefer the buckle trieste- the clasp just does not fit Cheers

Granted, gentlemen . . .

By: Dr No : June 18th, 2009-07:51

. . . there are no 'hard and fast' rules when it comes to matters like this. My personal experience with G O's is that their deployants are centered with short straps, and closely match the contours of my left wrist. The nub of Yogi's problem is in findin...

Trieste please. Although the bracelet..

By: joeyza : June 18th, 2009-17:36

...is arguably the best in the business, it also just about doubles the weight of the watch. I found the deployant to be a perfect match to the trieste strap. Do keep one thing in mind, if you intend to change the strap to an aftermarket variety, the depl...

I agree.....

By: MiniCooper : June 17th, 2009-19:32

100% with the buckle instead of the clasp Cheers
