Okay we have seen that there is always debate on on which ROO (Panda, Safari, etc)...but what about the bracelet vs strap??

Seems like a lot of you prefer bracelet over strap. Please share your thought/opinions/pros/cons of both

h999r · 6 May 2012, 05:30 AM

I prefer bracelet. But safari only looks good on strap.

capote · 6 May 2012, 06:02 AM

I'm not a big fan of ROO, but there are some amazing models. Number one is Safari on hornback

Pic off the internet

I have both the bracelet and various straps for my ROO's, But i must say i prefer straps due the heavy weight with the bracelet.

DoxaDavid · 6 May 2012, 07:14 AM

I have both and have found it is fun to change it up so I say variety!

kilyung · 6 May 2012, 07:20 AM

Straps fit me better than a ROO bracelet.

Spanby200 · 6 May 2012, 07:43 AM

Is that a survivor strap Thomas, with the buckle? I would like one for my RB 1

It's the survivor strap with Diver buckle.

mask1196 · 6 May 2012, 08:39 AM

That's a really cool looking strap. The survivor plus diver buckle. Wow.

texex91 · 6 May 2012, 12:31 PM

Good info gents

997.2TTS · 6 May 2012, 01:06 PM

I actually like it. Very comfortable, and has more of an 'industrial', all business look:

Admittedly it's not as easy to change around like a Panerai, but going from the bracelet to the horn back, or to a rubber strap really changes the look.

Rollie2011 · 6 May 2012, 01:13 PM

prefer the straps on the ROO and bracelets for RO + ROC

oworkman · 6 May 2012, 01:20 PM

Love the strap on my Diver, thinking of getting a rubber for the Panda to mix it up a bit, that survivor strap with tang would look awesome on the Panda i think.

Thomas, are they easy to get hold of, and do you know how much?

The Survivor strap would be a killer look on your Diver IMO, I will try to find a picture for you

The strap is 185$ and can be found at your AD or Boutique.

oworkman · 6 May 2012, 09:01 PM

Thanks Thomas, do you know the part number of the strap plus the diver buckle??

Excellent...writing that one down as well

eric23 · 7 May 2012, 01:27 AM

You need both, but strap first for sure.

kilyung · 7 May 2012, 03:32 AM

Just FYI, 24mm tang buckles start at $600USD. Guess how I know?

For under a 1000 it is a good option, I have the bracelet already from my Panda and I have the standard diver strap on my Diver so having a survivor strap and buckle would give me a third option, mix and match all three!!!

The article number for the tang buckle would be great it you can find it!

Thanks for your help Thomas!

As you already got the Diver buckle i'd get the deployant clasp so you can use all the available straps

I will try to get the art.no today for you

oworkman · 7 May 2012, 07:17 PM

Thanks Thomas, Concerned about the comments I see re the deployant and comfort?? What is your opinion??

braningan · 7 May 2012, 09:23 PM
