For all those who found their new sapphire 3861 a little too dressy with the polished center links, I splurged on the brushed bracelet that comes with the hesalite and I have to say, it really changes the character of the watch. It was of course is expensive, but worth it over the lifetime of the watch. Thought I'd post in case anyone is thinking of this switch!

 

Looks great...if you care to share what is the cost of the bracelet? I was thinking more of the nylon fabric strap black strap but wanted a the sapphire case back. I love the metal bracelet (I am sure at some point I will swap it for the strap).

 

$680 + taxes in the US

 

I really like this as well. I am seriously considering it for my hesalite 1861!

 

Yep I did the same and love it. Best of both worlds.
