Super clean look! How do you like the bracelet? I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on integrated bracelets without trying on, since you're kind of stuck with them.

Bracelet is really nice - I actually like it quite a bit more than most integrated ones I've tried (without going into the $10k+ range, at least).
Finish is extremely nice - especially for the price point. The inner edge has a slight chamfer and is smooth, so no sharp points anywhere. Extremely nice articulation in the bracelet, so it drapes perfectly. I personally like the polished center links mixed with the brushed links - and with the hardened coating, I'm not too worried about durability there.
The end links do stick out very slightly past the lugs, so I would say it probably will fit very nicely if you have more than around a 6.5"/16.5cm wrist, but if you're smaller than that, I'd avoid it. This wouldn't be an issue except that the first link doesn't quite clear the case, so it can't fold under completely (hence the very slight protrusion there).
Fit is "good" but not perfect (ideally I'd remove about 1/3 of a link more) for me with the butterfly - but they also have the option of buying a clasp with micro adjustments to replace it. I actually really like the included clasp from a looks perspective, though, so I'm not sure whether I'd try the other.
They do also sell some rubber strap options for this, though, which I plan on buying, but haven't yet.
