Let’s see your integrated bracelet watchex

This is prob my favorite watch, the one I wear the most. My ultimate grail. It has one of the best bracelets I’ve ever worn.

Only VC and JLC have been able to figure out tool free micro adjusts with butterfly clasps.

What’s your favorite integrated bracelet watch?

My favourite was IWC Gst 3227 titanium , GG inspired design bracelet from the Ingenieur. Super comfortable.

My two integrated bracelets.

BTW, that VC is a stunner!

Both fire thank you for sharing. Love Oris - have never owned one, but have always admired the brand and its design language. The PRX was my first integrated bracelet and what kicked off my addiction to integrated bracelets - sold it some time ago and still miss it

Thank you man. It was my grail for years and years. Managed to get one last year and all I can say is it's 99% perfect. I sometimes have to force myself to put it down.

Almost because I have 3 complaints about it:

The polished bezel scratches easily. I don't mind, I consider scratches and scrapes to cases/bracelets to be 'adding character' and never polish in service, but it still scratches pretty easily compared to other watches i own

The rotor is solid and I wish it was a skeleton rotor like my Zenith has. I know it can be done, and am surprised they opted not to make the movement even more visible. That's nit picky though. How often do you stare at the back?

And last, also very nit picky, the rotor is a bit loud - reminds me of a Sinn rotor. Cannot even hear the rotor on a Rolex or Omega or JLC or IWC but on the Overseas you totally can even from an arms length distance.

This is without doubt one of the nicest timepieces on the market however for so many of us a little too expensive, I remain content with a few different iterations of the Cartier Santos but lately am transitioning back to watches fitted with straps adjusted snuggly to my wrist, minimizes the watches knocking around with the further benefit that I can alter the look and renew should the straps wear. One of my first lessons from a Swiss gent collecting timepieces was that the value of any watch was the head. Of course the discussion concerned vintage which is a different topic from the integrated bracelet trend where the head is part of the whole.

I really don’t like integrated bracelet watches. Didn’t like them in the 1970’s; didn’t like them in the 1990’s.

I could make an exception for that VC, though 😁

First off, very nice watch sir! I'm a strap guy but do like the concept of a bracelet, especially an integrated one.

So, I'd have to say this, obvs got some VC bracelet vibes, and also terribly easy to adjust, with screws that work and are easy to take out + micro adjustable buckle AND titanium with hardness coating. Might be the best sub-$1K, IMO.

Second runner up for me is this Seiko Arabic SNK603J5. The SeikoRX if you will.

For me it's everything a smaller PRX should be, with great lume and a distinct, enamel black dial.

I've never considered Yema, until I saw these. I like these dials better than the Twelve.

Amazingly thin. Love that blue dial.

I’m a sucker for integrated bracelets and have been on the hunt for a salmon dial. If you buy one from Yema, don’t take the free ball cap. It’s made in HK and was flagged by US customs. Not sure if it was related but I had to pay a duty for the watch which essentially wiped out the the 10% discount I received as a first time buyer.

That sucks. For other "friendly" countries they only charged VAT if it was over 2K. I'll admit, I am ignorant of what customs charges for importing goods like this

My recent acquisition. Not really a grail though I did have to wait a year for it.....

Just posted my old Omega in its own thread but I think it fits here too in spite of being almost 40 years old…
