SARB017 Bracelet Choice

[SunTzu]

I really like the SARB017 to have in the "beater" rotation with my G-Shock and Seiko SKX009J1. I think it's a beautiful watch and a whole lot for the money. It has gone up a little in price but eBay had a 15% off coupon so I got one from Japan with free shipping and paid $398.00. Not too bad for late in the game.

I'm definitely swapping out that hideous strap I'm looking at a Jubilee and would like opinions please. Most of my bracelets are Oyster so I'm definitely going with the Jubilee. I can always come back and swap out for leather or NATO which I have plenty of.

But do you guys like the one with the end links, or the straight ends? I'm leaning towards the straight ends as it has a more retro feel to go with the vintage style hands of the Alpinist. Plus it's a little less blingy than the polished end links, and a bit different looking. I don't see many others out there with this style. Plus it's cheaper I'm curious as to your thoughts. Thanks.
