Horological Meandering

I’ve come to appreciate that it grabs my attention and can loom large for me. How about you? ...  

So I guess I care more about the case and dial than anything. When I bought the UN it came on a strap and I later bought the bracelet, and the Corum came on a bracelet and I wear it with a strap. There are some watches that just don't look good if you tak...  

…keep on the back of my mind a nice strap to substitute a lame bracelet. That’s the case with Omega, for instance. I don’t like most Omega bracelets. There are watches like the Royal Oak which, like is the case with Rolex I wouldn’t wear without the origi... 

...  

It’s a big factor for me. There have been a few bracelets that are just plan uncomfortable to wear, others I don’t like the look of. Since the majority I wear on bracelets, this is important. I have an AquaStar incoming in a couple months. It’s not that I... 

Reversos look best on strap, but can pull off a bracelet when the conditions call for it. ...  

I just love the look and how it fits my wrist.

I’ll even go with an aftermarket on certain models like this Heuer Carrera. I like it better on this aftermarket bracelet than on the OEM strap. My collection is about half bracelets and half strap, but I can see myself passing on a watch because I didn’t...  

I tend to feel that same way, if the bracelet isn’t attractive, I’m done.

We definitely agree on walking away for a crappy looking bracelet 😂

The only watches I have on the bracelet are my Chopard L.U.C Sport 2000 and I have never worn it with anything else but the bracelet but it is a great looking and comfortable bracelet. The other watch is my GADA UTS 1000m that came with a bracelet and rub... 

If it’s a unique looking bracelet and comfortable, i tend to stay with that. Then again, I’ve been drawn to custom straps that last year or so…I’m fickle.

The more the merrier! Having choice is good imho. ...  

As in the majority of cases I cannot replace the bracelet with a strap fast enough 😂😂😂

mostly as a negative. People take a good bracelet for granted and ALWAYS (on a premium watch) notice a bad one. That’s why for me the new omega bracelet is so polarizing. I liked the way it looked but when I tried it on, I didn’t like the way it felt. It’... 

For me, it depends on the watch, but, I am more a bracelet guy, but, do love a good nato/watch combo…I wish I could get with straps other than nato…on a Panerai, yes, no problem here, but, I have tried on Speedmasters and subs and don’t prefer that combo.... 

I love gifting watches to family and friends.
