Straps or Bracelets?

[Bob]

Hi Guys
Which do you prefer and why. I personally prefer straps because I can never get a good fit with a bracelet. Bracelets are either too tight, or too loose on me. With a strap I can always get a good fit and I love the way a strap feels(especially gator)

Prefer straps myself, for reasons given mostly. There is also the hair pulling factor with bracelets.

Although I've used a strap on ocassion I've always prefered a bracelet.
I like the way the oyster bracelet on a Rolex looks and feels. I've never had a problem getting a good fit. I do however,like the NATO strap.

although i do like straps, i prefer bracelts...both from a look point of view and are more functional..ie waterproof

I opt for bracelets!, i prefer the look, versatality of use and long term durability and retained look. I do think however straps wether be rubber or croc look great and have a time and a place

It just depends on the situation and my mood. A bracelet is more rugged and can make a watch look more sporty. A nice strap can dress it up a bit.
It's remarkable is how much the strap or bracelet can change the overall appearance of the watch.

For a sports watch, I'll take a SS bracelet over a strap any day. For a purely dress watch, I'd go for a leather strap.

I go bracelet most of the time, i just like the feel of steel better than leather.

I am a bracelet kinda guy but I really like the bracelet that Jon has on his Speedy.
I plan on getting one of those for the Speedmaster.

I like both!! Having options makes one more fun but expensive part of this crazy hobby!! ;D

I'm generally a strap guy, but I love Rolex Oyster bracelets. I don't care for many others, except the Breitling Pilot bracelet and the bracelet on the IWC Aquatimers.
