    So after selling my Planet Ocean a couple of weeks ago i now finally have something to fill the void. Thanks to @taz101 for letting me take this little beaut home. Opinions on strap or bracelet please, I'm finding the strap makes it more wearable day to day but i do love the bracelet.
    Also I can see my photography skills are somewhat lacking.
    My text purchase will be something of the vintage variety, probably the noob favourite older Seamaster, just doing some intel (and money) gathering

    Keep it on the strap. And a very nice watch by the way.
    Enjoy.

    Another +1 for the strap. The bracelet looks sharp, but the strap really pops

    I am going to say it with the best intentions.
    You need to look at a few vintage models with a smaller wrist presence. Try a vintage seamaster or constellation or even a vintage dive in the 38mm.

    Well you said it with more tact than my father.... [emoji12]. It's ok I'm well aware I have skinny wrists, all part and parcel of being athletic. It does wear big I know but I love it nonetheless.
    I'm looking into vintage seamaster and eterna-matics at the moment. Good shout on the constellation though. Just trying to learn what to look for as a good example.

    I was thinking the same thing. Look for a watch with the 147XX or 149XX series case.

    Prefer the watch on bracelet or leather strap personnally, the nylon strap is cool but a bit too sporty for an AT imho

    Hope you enjoy it mate personally I thought the bracelet (whilst I actually normally hate PCLs) really works on the AT as the bezel is also polished steel so you have that conformity going across the piece but the strap is colourful as well.

    I have the same watch, and my problem is the following:
    Whenever I have it on the strap, I think the bracelet will look better. Whenever I have it on the bracelet, I think the strap will look better.

    All in all, I think it looks great on both, but perhaps a bit more versatile on the bracelet.
