Tough call indeed
Hi JYogi,
as I mentioned in an earlier post , I had my reasons to change from the Treste strap to he bracelet later on. Of course and as always you do not need to share them.
But I am still captured by the overall look of the Sport Evo an the Trieste strap. So I am happy to own them both.
However changing strap/bracelet is not easily done without the proper tool. (The proper one can be seen in Jocke's contribution to the current bracelets thread. The downside of this tool is that is also properly expensive.)
If you decided to go for the Triest strap and with a smaller wrist you might really help yourself by combining the strap with the plain buckle instead of the clasp. For me it helped a lot.
As for the financial aspect without telling numers: The difference in the watch retail prices with strap or with bracelet exatcly matches the difference in the retail prices of the strap+clasp and the bracelet alone. I found this out while going for the bracelet. I think that Dr. No's suggestion is the right one. You could make things easier for your dealer by asking for the bucke instead of the clasp. It would make a considerable difference for him.
Whatever you will do, you will not go wrong because either way there is a G.O. between the spring bars.
Best regards and read you,
Martin

Sports Evo line with Bracelet or Trieste???
OK The recent bracelet post got me thinking.... I am picking up a model in the Sports Evo line. I already know which and am raising the funds. I am having a serious debate though. I have 6.8 in wrists and know some deployment clasps can be uncomfortable o...
TRIESTE.....
without a doubt- it is the most comfortable strap that I have ever worn Go with the buckle, not the clasp as it is more comfortable Only drawback is that it cannot be dressed up Cheers
Only you can tell if the long-term effects of wear should sway . . .
. . . you from away from a bracelet, Yogi - that's a purely personal call. My personal preference is for straps equipped with deployants; straps, because I find them to be more comfortable and a pleasure to replace when necessary, and deployants to minimi...
tough call
I went with the SS Bracelet and I love it. Ideally I would love to have both but buying either after the fact is insanely expensive. Not sure how well the strap will hold up to water exposure over time, that's why I went with the SS.
Re: tough call
I personally prefer the Trieste strap--very comfortable and, after wearing one almost everyday for more than a month, extremely durable (no sign of wear so far). However, if you are inclined toward the bracelet or undecided, I agree with Doc and suggest y...

Thanks everyone!
Thanks I think I need to go with the Trieste, also as I have smaller wrists I will go with the buckle as clasps do not center well quite often with straps when worn on smaller wrists. Trying them on again isn't really an option... My local AD is just some...
The Trieste strap is available in a short length . . .
. . . of 75 mm x 105 mm, so a deployant will most likely fit comfortably in the correct centered position if you specify a short strap from your dealer . . . cordially, Art
I do not like to disagree, Art,
however I had the short version of the Trieste strap on my Sport Evo together with the clasp. At least in my case and with my perhaps unusually shaped wrist (who knows, I never compared it with others) the problem was that the clasp appeared to be simply ...
Whats size wrists do you guys have??
What size wrist do those of you have who wear, have worn the Trieste? My wrist is 6.8 in Let me know your wrist size, which combinations you tried on and what worked best for you. Thanks!
Granted, gentlemen . . .
. . . there are no 'hard and fast' rules when it comes to matters like this. My personal experience with G O's is that their deployants are centered with short straps, and closely match the contours of my left wrist. The nub of Yogi's problem is in findin...
Trieste please. Although the bracelet..
...is arguably the best in the business, it also just about doubles the weight of the watch. I found the deployant to be a perfect match to the trieste strap. Do keep one thing in mind, if you intend to change the strap to an aftermarket variety, the depl...
