Ordering a PO (43.5, blue) and really prefer the leather and rubber strap for both the look and the feel/weight (or lack there of). Would also like the flexibility in the future of having a bracelet as well, since trends and preferences can and do change. What is smarter to buy first - the watch with bracelet and then purchase the leather/runber or vice versa? Is cost the only consideration? Thanks all!
If you're swaying between leather and rubber, I'd lean towards the rubber. Mainly for it's water resistant properties and durability. Cost is a consideration sure, so too is weight (thinking the bracelet here), water resistance and durability as mentioned above. Equally as important is the look of the combination in your eyes. Peoples styles and tastes will vary; however, it's your opinion that matters. In terms of a 'smart' buy, I think this really is what you plan on wearing the most and enjoying the most. That is the smart buy.
