Just enjoying my very affordable Merkur

...and I'm thinking bracelet or leather...??? Might dress it up some...

...but the stock sorta canvas strap it came with is wonderfully comfortable, and era appropriate for the vintage the watch emulates. Decisions...nice that the stock strap is quick-release.

I think that it will take any leather (burgundy, olive, chocolate, black) and any texture. I am not sure about a steel bracelet. It may wash out. 

It has proven to be versatile for me. What did you choose?

I have a been looking at Merkur watches for a while. The only thing I hate is the watch branding like Pierre, FOD, Seizen etc. I think they need to work on their branding and font choice other than that their watches while homages they are not your typical Rolex homage.

That's fair. 🤝

I've discussed exactly that with them. They're nice folks, so I hope they take things like that into future consideration.

They give good dollar value, and I actually like the Pierre Paulin Pulsemeter chronograph a lot, I just wish it had the Han character Merkur logo.
