Hello! Do you know if the bracelet on this watch is exactly the same as the ones that are on the existing standard production Sub300 range?

Thanks!

Actually I’ve arranged to give it back to him tomorrow. As much as it’s comfortable, the size of it reminds me of a Seiko Turtle and it always felt present on my wrist which was a bit tiresome after a while. I think I’ll focus my energy towards a dress watch because the sports watch slot in my life is well covered by the Explorer 1.

Appreciate you pointing this out - it's good to have a point of reference and set appropriate expectations.

The scratch issue applies basically across the GS range of watches, no?

But yes, in general I agree with the points you made but I’m coming to terms with wear + scratches. One of my other watches is a Reverso and that’s also got its share of scratches and I’ve just accepted this reality.
