    Interested in opinions on options for this Seamaster, always worn on the leather but before I spend a lot of time polishing this old bracelet I thought I would try and gather some thoughts.
    I do like the feel of the bracelet but in two minds as to the look :unsure:

    I think the strap looks much better. The bracelet overpowers the watch and detracts IMO.

    Strap.

    I could see this on a BOR but this one is a bit to chunky.

    Black dial on black strap. It's the only way.

    Why not rotate strap/bracelet? Its like having an extra watch. Although I'm guessing you don't NEED an extra watch... :whistling:

    Strap...... try shiny lizard. It match well with the markers, when you are bored with black leather strap.
    BOR may fit, but I am not big fan of it.

    Bor is certainly a possibility, i'll ask Mrs nicely if I can borrow it for a try out. By the way it was snowing when I took this shot late yesterday - springtime :)
