I have to admit that the SS bracelet is VERY comfortable. Having said that, the polished bracelet is still a little too attention grabbing for my taste. I tried a few different strap variations and I think I'm finally getting close to one that I like... I...
I like that 5960/A very much since I tried it and there are so many possibilities with straps. Thanks for sharing your experience again and again Jester! Cheers, Mark
I must say that although I do love the dial design (which raises the heckles of the traditionalists), tactile feel of the pushers is a disappointment vs other handwound column wheel chronos. And the movement finish cannot be said to be class leading any l...
