I tried on a new IWC Ingeniuer and the bracelet was really nice. Also loved the bracelet on my Grand Seiko 9fGMT.

The Tudor Pelagos bracelet is very nice. The micro adjustment available makes it comfortable ask the time and can be adjusted on the fly with no tools.

I do really want to try out the IWC beads of rice bracelet on my Pilot but I've already spent too much on the bracelet for my Panerai so it'll have to wait

Once I got the Seamaster 300 clasp on my Planet Ocean bracelet it improved it to near perfect.

Yeah, the adjustable clasp on any Omega bracelet is pretty great. Christopher Ward bracelets are really good too. Monta bracelets are really nice, same with Grand Seiko despite no adjustment.

The Pelagos bracelet is a work of art. I usually don't like bracelets because my wrist size fluctuates wildly during the day and the Pelagos is the only one I've had that is comfortable always.

James May talks watches and even gives a shout out to Seiko's Spring Drive technology in that wonderfully technical way James May does in 00:16 in the video.

Anyone in the market for a new watch? Comes with box, papers, bracelet and rubber strap.

I agree with the others, the Pelagos and the lastest Seamaster bracelets are great for everyday wear with their on the fly micro adjustments.

Today I am wearing my Black Bay 58 blue. Yesterday I wore my new Black Bay Chrono. I am going through the mental exercise to see if I need both. They do not wear equally well. They are both quite good on the wrist. Naturally the smaller / lighter black bay 58 wears better, but does the chrono wear good enough to justify selling the Black bay 58 blue. Why?

Because I have a replacement in mind for the BB58 blue.

I've tried this (and a few of its siblings) on a few times and I'd be an enabler and say do it now.

I adore GO, it is probably my most favorite brand.

That looks fantastic, but needs more GIGANTIC 4o'clock date window.

Thinking about selling this, Seiko SPB187. If anyone is interested, PM me. It's a nice watch, but it's a tweener for me and I'm trying to reduce my collection to a tight 6.

Speaking of the new Black Bay Chrono, I saw Watchfinder's review, oh man it is pretty. I may consider this over the new Speedy Pro when I'm ready to buy a Chronograph

That bastard is going to cause the price to go even higher! It was a damn fine video, though.

I could have got a Tudor Chrono yesterday as I had to return my BB58 Blue due to some lint under the glass. I decided to get a new BB58 Blue instead as it is quite the price jump for the Chrono however if they had a 925 there I would have instantly paid the extra for that.

I had to send my Pelagos in because the lume is falling out of the bezel. It seems to be a common problem, and people were getting it fixed for free even after the warranty period but we'll see I guess.

How much were they asking for the BB Chrono at your local AD?
