Looks good, but the original bracelet looks better. Maybe it's the straight ends of that bracelet that are throwing me off. And I agree, the OE rubber strap looks fantastic.

Those curved end Milanese options are cool, may need to look into this for my SMP.

I had this watch on OEM bracelet but with brushed center links. I miss it. I don’t love the straight end links and I think fitted ends would look much better.

Looks great on mesh. I’ve been on a big mesh kick lately, can’t get enough of it. Maybe because of the new Bond watch? Maybe, but I like it!

Not good. I don't like the heavy thick straight endlinks and the gaps between the endlinks and the case. I don't like the mesh either.

Love mesh just so comfy just hate the horrible tubes at the ends makes bracelet look cheap imo

that mesh on the bond is a great fit. ive worn this a few days now and i think i'm going back to the rubber strap, i think on the white dial with the orange hand, it would work better

You can buy shark mesh bracelets with no bar at the end but if you have small wrists you need to cut each loop off with wire cutters. The curved end straps look good but don't always fit every watch properly.but if cheap would be worth a try 👍

The blue of that seconds hand is something else

Great watch, I think I’ll review and comment on mine tomorrow. I agree with the general thread here, the Milan bracelet looks good, probably would be better with curved ends. However, the great rubber bracelet is much of the appeal of this watch to me. I’m not sure how it was done, but it is more comfortable than any other rubber watch strap I’ve tried.
