Articulated rubber vs titanium bracelet
Hello everyone.
I am worried about the durability of the articulated rubber bracelets. How long will it last before the rubber itself will degrade (probably depends on usage, but let's assume that the user is the sporty type ... rubber exposed to sweat, salt water, heat etc). I am currently sporting a watch with a steel bracelet and I am quite satisfied, so I am thinking that the titanium bracelet offered with the master compressor models must be a good match for me?
What about friction against the skin, will titanium be more comfortable than rubber against the skin on hot and humid summer days?
Hope to hear a lot about your preferences/experiences.
Regards,
Rick

If I will indeed go for the NSA as my daily wearer (I am still considering a few other options) i will probably order it with the titanium bracelet (if possible) and the leather/cordura strap. Is changing bracelets/straps on this model something which req...

I think that you can put a Titanium racelet on the N.S.A, but it will be a bit expensive, as the watch is not delivered with. Changing a bracelet or a strap is not as easy as it is on the EWC, becasue JLC didn' choose the quick system which exists on this...
