    Like a mother-in-law that produced the coolest best wife yet is up your ass daily with snooping & checking in, like a good dentist but a dentist nonetheless, like a well-paying job with an obnoxious boss or terrible flight - whereupon you sit next to an over-chatty unwashed stranger for 10 hours -- that takes you to your dream vacation...

    I love the look and feel of this bracelet but feel compelled to seek out and hurt small innocent woodland creatures when putting it on and taking it off.

    @JwRosenthal gave me a thorough tutorial via PM (thank you again, sincerely) but even with that expert instruction I have spent 15 minutes clipping it on and another 11 minutes taking it back off (got lucky there but haven't a clue how or why)... and another 17 minutes putting it back on.
    Madness. Absolute madness.

    Feel like I need to grow out a "cocaine finger nail" on my right index finger to master this fucking thing -- or employ a full-time human, always on-call, to magically appear and assist in removal & reinstallation.

    Sidenote: I'd pay cash money for this to be the only bracelet choice for the new breed of (typically) Rawlexx fanboi ~ the type who not only covers all areas of their watch with clear plastic protective film -but- has to remove their watch before hand washing/cooking/going to the bathroom/pouring a beverage/dousing themselves in Creed cologne/etc... because either their brain would explode and/or their fingertips would be raw while their index finger nail would be splintered to bits.

    Practice, you'll get it down to a clean 14 minutes, easily, by this time next year.

    Do you think Tiger got so good by not practicing?


    Now, I've got it down to 15 seconds, but my Mama always said I was "gifted" and "special"

    It took me a bit to warm up to the looks of this bracelet. It really gives the watch a lolipop effect but it’s a “look” and a classic for a reason. You will get the mechanics down with practice (that’s what she said), but it takes time.

    And if you think the new ones are fussy, just try a vintage one!

    There is a reason they quit making this bracelet. It’s only because of bunch of knuckleheads who want to play astronaut that they are making it again.

    I respect your taste, but I find it too distracting. The bracelet catches my eye right away, then I look elsewhere because it is fugly and completely miss the watch.

    The acquired look part was easy... born in '63 so I distinctly recall seeing these often as a kid, and absolutely love the look. And the feel of it is tremendous too.
    As said though, the On/Off is blistering my already cooked & taxed neurons.

    You've obviously never seen my mother-in-law. Trust me when I say, by comparison -- this bracelet is Playmate of the Month material.

    He's just pissed because he put his protective film on backwards.

    I think, because I hate my life and love to piss off people, I am buying a Komfit for every watch I own.

    Sidebar: my wife, who generally could give 2.5 shits about little doodads and such when it comes to watches, just noticed the Komfit and proclaimed, "That is very neat. Looks comfy," (sic ~ Komfy babe) "please tell me that didn't cost a lot?"
    I told her that it was a gift from an OF member named @rendo who collects them. She looked confused. "Inside joke, sorry."
