Same here, not a bracelet person unless....
It is a integrated bracelet like on the Laureato.
As for bracelet on the 9238 - you should go ALL IN with a Funky one!

Am I turning into a bracelet guy in my old days, or what???
Friends, a recent look in my watch boxes revealed that by now I have already 4 -- four bracelet watches. Hmm??? And now this! Put this bracelet on the Olimpico 9238 and I kinda like it. Not permanently but for now, I like it. Am I turning into a bracelet ...
There is bracelet and bracelet, my friend.
You are not ( yet? ) a Rolex guy, but for me, the epitome of the Bracelet is the Oyster from Rolex. Classic, timeless, well made, bullet proof, and with an indisputable class. There are some competitors in almost the same vein: Omega for the Holy Trinity,...
Thanks so kindly :)
In general, if the design provides an option for strap or bracelet, I'll go for the strap. Not only for comfort, but I also like the ability to match a contrasting or harmonising colour. For this Olimpico, I will go back to strap for sure, maybe will try ...
Probably a kind of bracelet for summer / strap for winter combination...
And it looks quite good with both options my friend Cheers, Mike
Bracelet is good for summer
and I like how it looks on that Olimpico Very good choice cheers D P.S. Is it period correct bracelet ?
I don't know if it's your case or just a coincidence but I always select watches with bracelets for my summer holidays. May be you paid more attention to this detail because you feel better with a bracelet during summer times.
Another question: you have 4 bracelets in your collection now but, compared to all watches you own, may be bracelets just represent a little percentage among all of your timepieces. Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks Joe
honestly, the relationship between summer and bracelet is not a given. In fact, in real summer heat, I prefer rubber straps. Also in the hot summer, I feel my wrist size differs more over the course of the day, which makes it difficult to get the right ad...
Yes for me too on a very humid day, my wrist changes
I also wear a rubber strap on my JLC EL II and it is one of my dedicated summer watches. Also, I wore a NATO nylon strap for the first time ever this year and I think nylon is very ideal for hot weather. In fact I will be ordering another NATO nylon strap...

+1000 on the Laureato
for the 9238, as I will keep the bracelet only for a few days, this will have to do
there is nothing wrong with you and all of my chronographs except some of them have their metal bracelets which I find more versatile and robust than leather
Regarding quality bracelets , the best ones during the 50's-70's were made by Rolex (the one with the solid end links not the riveted one), OMEGA, Zenith and GP. Rolex riveted bracelet are not so robust and tend to get lose over time
Thanks George for the additional input
good option to have bracelets. In the end, it is a personal preference and for most of the time, I prefer a strap
