A Hairy Dilemma
For those of you fortunate enough to be owners of either a Nautilus 5711 or an Aquanaut 5167, what is the comfort level of the bracelet and strap, respectively, of each? As the owner of a Calatrava 3919 on an alligator strap, I had never before worn a watch with a metal bracelet until just a couple of weeks ago when I received a RO 15300 in steel as a gift. I had been searching for quite some time for a luxury sports watch and thought that a RO would be a good choice. The metal links on the bracelet, however, constantly catch the hairs on my wrist, and I wince every time. For the hirsute among you, do you find this to be case with the Nautilus bracelet as well? Is this simply an inherent problem with metal bracelets in general for those of us with hairy wrists? Would I be advised to go with a strap instead, and, if so, would the Aquanaut be the solution? Thanks for your thoughts.
