An Oyster bracelet for my 36mm watch

So I've been considering switching out my 36mm Everest's Tudor-style bracelet for an Oyster type band. I'm really drawn to the gradual taper of those...

commented on Does it fit my wrist? ยท

Honestly, most watches will look pretty big from this angle. My maximum is 47mm lug-to-lug, and whenever I take wrist shots, my watches look like they're taking up all the space on my wrist, but when viewed in a mirror I see way more real estate.

Have a few in my collection but my Ripley, with all its scrapes and dings from fighting desk aliens, is my favorite.

commented on Visiting Italy this Summer. Type of watch should I wear? ยท

I wore a Swatch Gent during my five-day trip to Rome last summer. I had just come from Switzerland so I had taken my other Swiss watches there for a homecoming of sorts, but they never left my suitcase while I was in Italy.

I love my Everest but I have to say that part of me thinks that San Martin did the 1016 homage a bit better.

Curious about what you mean by the watch being "course" vs the Smiths -- is this just the crown operation, or are there other qualities that make the watch give off this vibe?

Agree, they do make some good-looking bracelets, but yes, I would prefer fitted end-links. It's surprising how difficult they are to find!

Oof, I don't think I'm brave enough to do (precise) machine work! But I'll keep this in mind as a last resort ๐Ÿ˜…

Honestly, I liked the look of the Hodinkee cap, but when I saw the price I thought, yep, that's Hodinkee alright.

I'll stick with my current cap, thank you (never mind that it's a bit too small so I don't really use it).
