Actually I think it matters a lot
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’s one of the reasons (I think) Rolex was so smart not to screw around with an iconically perfect bracelet. I think Omega needs to standardize and not change bracelets as much as they do …since you asked😆🤣🥹
Great question, Larry.
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. If I had a Navitimer, yes, to the leather, so I think it is watch dependent. I think if I had a Carrera, I would want that on a perforated leather strap.
Thanks for this post, now I realize I need to rebuild my collection, only have the 5513 sub, and a couple of CWCs, as I have gifted my others to family members.
Hey Greg , thank you for chiming in! Hopefully , you’re pleased about the rebuild process!
I love gifting watches to family and friends.
