Horological Meandering

I know I’m not that “fortunate” to get the very famous AP but oh well…one has to be happy and contented. It is very exhausting to play this game to start “relationships” and buy something to get something. I’m not sure if I want to be in this game for lon...  

Have, or tried on, most and imho the OMEGA 50th Buzz is perhaps the most comfortable bracelet. Rolex Jubilee a close second. Of course jmho

Since the 2019. I really dislike the previous versions with no tapering and bulky clasp.

I rotate my watches often based on that moment’s instinct.

And the Chopard really shines amongst them !!

This Chopard dial really is spectacular.

I am not a big bracelet guy. I just have my sub- so brushed oyster is best. I have been trying to add a gmt on jubilee. I have no good history with my AD so is what it is. Maybe will get maybe won't.

Which is why the Sub and Explorers are nice too. The jubilee really shines and don’t have to worry about scratches because of so many small pieces

The idea of their lucent steel sounds good to me, not sure how much of marketing it is but hey they’re trying. Same with their ethical gold. Exhausting is a good way of putting how the current game works….

The A223 is 50% harder than 316L steel so I would think it is similar to Rolex 904L?

Had an AP 15400 and the bracelet is beautifully finished, but not that comfortable. I found the Odysseus bracelet to be very comfortable. The Streamliner Chrono is the most is the most comfortable bracelet I have tried, IMHO. Thanks for sharing your colle... 

I did remember trying an AP RO PC long time ago and it wasn’t as expected in terms of comfort but they do look great. This Feb I tried the 50th Jumbo and it feels right. Yes the Odysseus is nice with the quick adjustments. The Moser streamliner sure looks... 

I would take the Eagle, shame about the non screw down crown though. On top of my head I would suggest the following additions: a beads of rice, a shark mesh, a zenith style ladder type and a breitling steel bracelet with racing holes.

Thanks for the recommendations…the new Breitlings looks nice. For mesh, I have this one and only NTTD Seamaster in Titanium ...  

I hadn't realized this is kind of a game changer for me

I've found that I wear my watches with bracelets much more often since Covid. Mainly due to all the dishes I am washing while working from home. lol At least that's starting to change now as things kinda get back to "normal"

I rarely do so and just leave them on the counter or my wife/s dresser, part of the reason is afraid of knocking them while working or doing chores.

I really like all of them. So different to one another, yet compliment each others' cases. Do you have a favourite, and which bracelet watch will be next on your list?

Let's list them here starting from top right: 1. Odyseuss - Well built, nice polishing, smooth, comfortable, smart adjustment and easy release. Some gaps near lugs and integration may not be everyone's tea. 2. Chopard AE - Well built, looks solid, nice po... 

Agree about the Rolex Oyster, and great to hear your direct experience with all the bracelets. Oh yes, the 5905 for contemporary or the 5960A for classic. Between the two I would lean towards the latter (though either will be absolutely amazing).

It's a great design! And no need to "start a relationship" to get one.

It is a great design but too broad for my liking. Indeed their sales staff are still 👍🏻

Napa will be great!

If you owned a AP Royal Oak it would not be featured in that post because that bracelet is not very comfortable.

I mainly collect 4 brands: Patek, Lange, Rolex and Omega and I think they compliments each other. I tried the latest RO jumbo in AP House Munich and it is quite ok, rugged I should say.

I had a panomatic on the “5 across” bracelet and I think that was the most comfortable bracelet I’ve ever had.

To see if we can differentiate the comfort level. I think most can be accommodated and not far off to be honest….just more first world problems 😅🙏🏻
