On a strap, the focus is on the watch itself, making it easy to admire the wide-set, asymmetrical lugs, a consistent feature of most PF models, as well as the dial.

But once mounted on the original bracelet, out comes Mr Hyde. With its very strong personality, the bracelet takes center stage, almost making the watch itself seen inconsequential.  

I first received this watch on the strap shown, which is aftermarket, but replaced that with the bracelet once I had the AD replace a couple missing minor screws on the bracelet. Now it’s a few months later and I realized the bracelet, although very nicely made, and with its predictable PF styling, is probably a bit too extreme for me, at least from now.

So it’s back on the strap, with a new strap, in blue, on its way. But for now I feel the watch on a strap is more calming and fitting for my personality. But should I ever enter a Mr Hyde phase, the bracelet may return.
