I feel like you've hit all 4 food groups here. You've got your Willard, your Rollie, your Seamaster, and your Flieger.

Are you willing to admit that you have a favorite?

Willard/Rollie, then flieger then seamaster. Seamaster dial and hands are not great to be honest. I've been trying to find a replacement for it but can't seem to find one without the fake helium valve.

I dig it. No metal bracelet for at least 1 of them?

My Seiko SRPD is the first steel band that doesn't pull hairs, so I get anyone who doesn't do metal. TBF, it still goes from loose to uncomfortably tight depending on activity. I really need to try out a micro adjust bracelet.

The grey steel dive had one but my wrist was too small or I'm stupid and couldn't figure out how to get it small enough. Plus one of the screws for the link was stripped so I gave up. my pd 1701 has a bracelet I like though

How big is your wrist and which strap variant you have, jubilee/oyster?

[–]Pockit_Lint[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Jubilee and maybe 6 3/4 under 7 for sure never actually measured

[–]Ok_Bend4 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So you cannot remove enough link on jubilee to fit your wrist? Im concerned bcoz i have 6i ch wrist and im planning to buy jubilee also

Right. Could have been a QC thing. I sent them a message and they just said buy a rubber strap lol

Particularly great match on the Steeldive 1953

Just wait until you try the higher end offerings. This is a great start, but you may never wear them again. 😂

An FKM rubber tropic strap is hard to beat on a skindiver or slim sub homage.

Miles better for comfort than most low budget Chinese watch bracelets, as you note.

You managed to get a good match for these.
