Strap > Bracelet

I agree, but buying on a bracelet makes better financial sense. NATO and rubber are way more comfortable than a bracelet too. I don’t have any leather straps so I can’t say about those, but they look much more comfortable than a bracelet

Why the 1926 doesn't get more love I'll never know. Gorgeous watch!

I can’t explain my obsession with needing to buy a watch on bracelet always even though I know it’s going to end up in the box forever just sitting there. Couldn’t agree more 🎯 leather wears out over time and I love rubber and nato too but there’s a classic warmth and feel to a leather strap I’ve always loved.

For the price point it’s hard to beat. More than enough water resistance, screw down crown, quick date set function, gorgeous waffle texture dial and royal blue hands and markers that just jump off the dial in the sun light. I adore this watch and got it used for a very good deal. Even if I were to add much more expensive watches to my collection down the road I can’t imagine myself not regularly wearing my 1926 at least once or twice a week, I think it definitely should get more love

I’ll keep the bracelet on my Certina DS Action diver just so I have a watch for actual swim and beach days besides my gshocks but yea no more bracelets for me in finally fully converted to a strapaholic

I love the idea of bracelets much more than the reality of them. I've not had the opportunity to try any genuinely excellent bracelets with solid, on the fly adjustment, but rigidity and the human body rarely cooperate perfectly. I'm a big fan of rubber, but I want to get more into leather too. The vulnerability of leather is slightly off-putting, but I think I just need to accept that it will have a lifespan and enjoy it for the time that I have it.

On the nose. I find the aging and lifespan of leather to have its own charm and I never go too crazy on expensive high end straps so I’m usually more excited to get a fresh one than upset at the expensive of an old one wearing out.

😂💯🎯🍻😂

The nice thing about the 1926 is that you can dress it up or down in a gazillion different ways

Every time I wear it I think to myself that I really don’t need to own any other watches (but I want to and will never stop buying more 😂)

Love the watch, the strap compliments it very well. Hmmm looks like a future purchase for me

Much better is leather strap

Couldn’t agree more. Love the watch too!

Looks great on the leather strap 🔥

I feel the 1926 just looks more versatile with that leather. Great combo!

Wow turned out great 👏🏻🍻

Some of them feel incredible but some for me have felt pretty lackluster for the price point and would still have me swapping over to a strap pretty quickly. I would love to have a great bracelet on every watch but it’s so much easier to just get a comfy strap

Fetch the comfy pillow!

Ive said it before. All watches are better on a strap. 😉

Yay, someone said it. I only put a bracelet on one of my watches because of how nice it looks with it. The rest are on leather and the Diver is on rubber. Leather is so much softer, puts less weight on the wrist, doesn't pull on my hair, easily swappable with quick release, and adds contrast to the case. I also like the warm aesthetic leather straps give to watches, sometimes I find bracelets to be too much shiny metal on the wrist

Put the dive in an elastic’French parachute’ style. You’re probably also dropping the bracelet on that. I know I did 😂

It was my grail watch for quite some time. I was thinking of it or the GS in Quartz (small wrist alert) but I turned to the Tudor as it is less tricky to service and it’s a Tudor so it will keep it price steady if someday I want to sell it 😎

Thanks 🍻🙂

Spectacular strap!

Horse or cow skin?

It’s horween which is usually made of cow and bison (sometimes horse also)

Thanks brother 🍻🙏🏻

Either way it looks great.

Horween is the tannery. Their Chromexcel leather is calf or horse. Shell Cordovan is always horse.

Much agreed. Even my Pelagos LXD is on a strap. Way more confortable and better looking for my taste.

That is why my 1926 is my Escape Watch :)

I didn’t actually know that. That’s weird to me that if the options horse then is actually the best matieral? That’s feels counterintuitive to me but I’m happy to have learned something new 🙏🏻
