Shame the bracelet from the black bay doesn't fit the ranger.

Yeah. It almost does, and looks quite good, but not quite.

Wow that looks awesome on the perlon. Really brings out the blue of the bezel.

Softer feeling

Seems a lot of love for this one.

bigwatchman · 27 May 2015, 02:53 AM

That blue looks great with the Perlon. Perfect summer watch!

A couple of new straps to try, I prefer the perlon. Not the greatest pics (iPhone 4s)

I agree with you. The perlon takes up the end link space for a smoother look.

Yeah, I agree. It's a better fit on my Breitling Colt.

My lovely wife surprised me with this a few weeks ago. It has become an everyday for now. We had both admired this one on our last few visits to our longtime local AD. I like the distressed leather with the deployment clasp, but it's really hot here now. The fabric band is nice also. I am trying the Isofrane and is great so far. Didn't want the stainless bracelet, the TT subs fill that niche. I am enjoying the look and feel of this one.

Little bit of a different look for the summer!

Kinda regret getting the bracelet version instead of the leather strap.

Unused since day 1, using only NATO strap now.

After getting it, kinda like the leather strap instead. :(

Get a pledge membership here and sell it. You'll have enough to buy the leather and clasp, with some money to spare.

Are you looking to sell your bracelet?

SemperFi · 15 June 2015, 08:36 AM

As you can see, the Black Bay dresses up fairly well.

Old Expat Beast · 15 June 2015, 09:37 AM

I much prefer it without any endlinks. Leather, especially distressed leather, and fitted endlinks don't work for me at all.

Agreed, buddy.

Hey, are you still wearing your THC much, Adam?

How do you find the bracelet for the BB? The one gripe I have about it is not enough fine adjustment, especially because of the fluctuating size of my wrist here in HK, even over the course of a day, let alone over the course of the different seasons.

What's your favourite strap/bracelet to pair with the BB?

Thanks

I am not a fan of the end links, but leather in the hot summer does not mix well for me.

I'll be switching back to nato after today for when I wear my watch to work.

Until I can find a steel bracelet.

Old Expat Beast · 15 June 2015, 10:07 AM

Hey Jake,
Yes, still wearing the THC daily, rotated with the BB. They both have the same bracelet, and I have them on the same setting. Maybe a little on the loose side, but better than tight, especially in this weather, as you mention. I'm good with the bracelets until around November, when I'll switch to leather for the BB.

The Ranger is currently with the missus, as the bracelet can be got down to 5.5inches with the clasp centred.

have a great week

Jake B · 15 June 2015, 10:21 AM

Right on...Thanks, Adam.

Glad to hear that you're still enjoying the THC. The blue one's been squealing at me every morning, through the window of the Tai Hing boutique as I walk to the shop, and it's getting more and more difficult to ignore its calls.

Old Expat Beast · 15 June 2015, 10:22 AM

I got mine NIB for exactly 25k. Blue should be available for that price now, I think. Give it a try!
