Thanks for the comments, and about the SS bracelet.....

I am still enjoying my Polo. It's on my wrist as I write.

 

In regard to the bracelet, I find it to be perfectly fine. I don't have any negative comments about it.

 It is comfortable and fits perfectly, seems pretty solid to me, and looks good too. The clasp works and feels fine.

It's SS, and by nature there might be some unavoidable sharp places on others, but not on mine.


Bracelets, the like or dislike of them, are very personal to each person. I have read others' negative comments about how primitive 

the Polo bracelet is finished, how flimsy it is, how it looks bad because the inner links are brushed and outer ones are polished,

which is the opposite of the Patek 5711 bracelet. But I just can't agree with these negative comments. 

I think some people want to criticize the Polo because it is a Paget and not a PP. 

And speaking of which.....

 

I my opinion, the absolute WORSE bracelet is on the almighty, holy Patek 5711. 

The 5711 bracelet's design might look good, but IMO it is THE flimsiest, most light-weight, fragile-feeling, and poorly finished bracelets out there.

Mine has sharp corners on the clasp.  I wish it felt more solid. 

 I sound critical.  While I do like my 5711, IMO the bracelet is not at all commensurate with the price for a 5711. 


If you are interested in a SS bracelet for your Polo, by all means go and check one out.

I hope you like it. Or your tastes and feel for bracelets might differ completely from mine.

 Anyway, I am very satisfied.

I wrote another post about how I was awestruck by the Polo S green dial with RG accents, all on an SS bracelet . I decided that I couldn't "live without it" and put a deposit down last Sunday. After getting things arranged to take it home, I finally got i...  

Big congrats!

The green dial is magical indeed and I can attest to that as an owner of one too It plays with light very well and the green changes from bright/yellowish to more darked/green-blue hue. The case and bezel are also very nice. Mine comes with the green stra... 

Congratulations!

I agree with you that the Nautilus bracelet is not better, different and thinner yes but better? I don't think so. ( I do own and did wear a Patek 5711 for a long time)
