    When you have more than one watch, and your inclination is to switch around, often. It is not a big issue. With the exception of course of the modern expansion bracelets with the one size fits all spring loaded bracelet ends.

    Did you mean bracelets on/attached to your watch, or bracelets next to your watch ( like a sporty nautical rope bracelet next to your 145.022 on a 1171 ) ?

    I do not wear my Omega or Breitling on their bracelets. I do wear my Rolex 16610LV and 16570 on their bracelets. I might add the new Rolex bracelets are the reason I don't buy a new Rolex...Blasphemous I know. Sure it has "glide lock" or whatever but I don't like the added thickness and weight. Your milage may vary.

    Heavy or "substantial" does not mean quality in my book.

    I don’t mind the look and generally put the bracelets to unless they have the end links that overlap/cover the lugs (found with some vintage watches) as they can scratch/damage the lugs.

    bracelet as in watch band or bracelet as an accessory?

    As an accessory it doesn't feel comfortable for me on the same wrist as the watch. Plus I worry they will scratch the watch or get caught on one of the pushers.

    I think that the poster means a bracelet separate to the watch its self. My view is that unless you are Pimp then its either a watch or a bracelet, unless the bracelet is on the other wrist.

    Yes that’s what I mean! Wearing an extra bracelet with your watch on the same wrist! Sorry for not being specific enough!

    It’s a no for me. First, it induces wear on the watch. Second, I leave the bracelets to my GF. :D

    I once saw a Sinn EZM1 for sale that was severely damaged by the owner’s lava rock bracelet(s). So, Lava rock bracelets can hasten a type of case patina.

    Definitely a no no for me. Bracelet would be on the opposite wrist from the watch.

    It’s almost like wearing two watches on the same wrist. Why steal your watch’s thunder?

    Some people can get away with it. And wear three watches.

    I admire many things about Buzz, one of which often goes over looked - his ability to fit so much stuff in his shirt pockets.

    That’s Buzz. He can get away with most things.
