Perlon strap for the OP39 114300

Hadn't seen a picture of one, yet, so I decided to take the plunge.






I like the look.

What I learned:
- For me removing spring bars was tedious, requiring a steady hand and good eyes (i.e. magnification).
- The perlon strap is really thin. This one came from Wrist and Style.
- Perlon straps are comfortable, as comfortable as the Rolex bracelet but not near as easy to slip on. I've used watches with buckles without problems but for some reason the buckle on this perlon was frustrating to work.

Bottom line?

I liked the look of the perlon and I still like the idea of changing colors for variety. I understand the attraction and why some really go for them. However, for me, I like being able to just slip my watch on without the hassle of that aggravating buckle.

So, back to the original bracelet for me.

OK, I'm lazy!
