I guess my favourite bracelet will still be the Rolex Airking bracelet. It has a micro-adjustor which is very easy to use, and the design doesn't trap as much dirt/grime as bracelets with smaller links. It is easy to polish off scratches too, being of a brushed finish.
In terms of comfort, JLC makes very good bracelets, often with a double micro-adjustor feature, which make it easy to wear in cold or warm weathers without removing links. They are very well made too- hard to find sharp edges on them. I tried a few other models including the Polaris on bracelet, and it is the same - smooth and comfortable.
Your post has got me thinking of the following bracelets I would like to try:
-The Zenith ladder bracelet - seems so airy and well ventilated
-The Glashutte Original SeaQ bracelet - I heard the adjustors are very very good
The most beautiful bracelet of them all (in my mind), is the RO bracelet, because it catches light in facets, and has a narrow taper towards the deployant. However, I really dislike the lack of adjustors. When it gets hot, the watch can become tight and uncomfortable. In my case, neither a half link nor full link solves this. It catches wrist hair a lot too. BUT IT IS SUPER STUNNING. It catches attention from non watch people too, because of how unique the facets reflect light.
In terms of finishing, I always felt that Grand Seiko has really well made bracelets. They are buttery smooth, and I could not find a sharp edge on one. Sadly, they haven't rolled out adjustors for these bracelets yet.
In summary, a great bracelet is:
1) Comfortable
2) Has adjustors
3) Tapers at the deployant
4) Does not snag hair easily
5) Easy to polish (Fully brushed or fully polished, not a mix)
So my answer will be a newer styled Oyster Bracelet.
