First, the bracelet looks fabulous on the Heuer!
I tend to feel that same way, if the bracelet isn’t attractive, I’m done.
Bracelet question: how much does it factor into a watch decision?
I’ve come to appreciate that it grabs my attention and can loom large for me. How about you? ...
For me it factors in only if they are unchangeable/integrated. I've purchased watches with bracelets and swapped them out to a strap, and visa versa.
So I guess I care more about the case and dial than anything. When I bought the UN it came on a strap and I later bought the bracelet, and the Corum came on a bracelet and I wear it with a strap. There are some watches that just don't look good if you tak...
Depends (I know, hideous response). If it’s a Rolex, I only wear Rolex on their original metal bracelet. I don’t even like the new rubber trend. Regarding most other watches, I always…
…keep on the back of my mind a nice strap to substitute a lame bracelet. That’s the case with Omega, for instance. I don’t like most Omega bracelets. There are watches like the Royal Oak which, like is the case with Rolex I wouldn’t wear without the origi...
Hi Larry
It’s a big factor for me. There have been a few bracelets that are just plan uncomfortable to wear, others I don’t like the look of. Since the majority I wear on bracelets, this is important. I have an AquaStar incoming in a couple months. It’s not that I...
It all depends...
Reversos look best on strap, but can pull off a bracelet when the conditions call for it. ...
Ever since I put a mesh bracelet on my reverso, I haven’t wanted to take it off .
I just love the look and how it fits my wrist.
I like bracelets a lot.
I’ll even go with an aftermarket on certain models like this Heuer Carrera. I like it better on this aftermarket bracelet than on the OEM strap. My collection is about half bracelets and half strap, but I can see myself passing on a watch because I didn’t...

Thank you, Larry!
We definitely agree on walking away for a crappy looking bracelet 😂
I am more a strap person than a bracelet person but if a watch comes on a bracelet it has to be a good one.
The only watches I have on the bracelet are my Chopard L.U.C Sport 2000 and I have never worn it with anything else but the bracelet but it is a great looking and comfortable bracelet. The other watch is my GADA UTS 1000m that came with a bracelet and rub...
Thanks for the input Marc!
If it’s a unique looking bracelet and comfortable, i tend to stay with that. Then again, I’ve been drawn to custom straps that last year or so…I’m fickle.
It's timepiece dependent. And some look great in multiples of straps / bracelets.
The more the merrier! Having choice is good imho. ...
I am probably the wrong one here…
As in the majority of cases I cannot replace the bracelet with a strap fast enough 😂😂😂
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’...
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....
Hey Greg , thank you for chiming in! Hopefully , you’re pleased about the rebuild process!
I love gifting watches to family and friends.
