Help me out guys. I want to purchase a good looking S/G watch. Important for me:
- good typography on the dial
- at least some brand heritage
- automatic
- good quality bracelet
- yellow gold not rose gold
The water resistance on this is a nice bonus but I could easily live with less like 10 ATM.
How do you feel is the look and quality of the bracelet? Is it easy to set the time with those high crown guards? Do you have an alternative suggestion?
Thank you very much ;)
The watch is great, the bracelet is mediocre. It’s sturdy and feels ok, but nothing to write home about. Oris Aquis has a better bracelet, but not if you want the 2-tone look and not at the same price. You can find that specific look on the Oris Diver’s 65. Rado and Mido also have 2 tone watches, but I couldn’t tell you anything about the bracelet quality. The 2tone watches are usually available in shops, so I think you can go to a multi-brand shop and ask for their 2tones in around your price to try on and decide there.
How is setting the time with those crown guards?
I'm wearing my Diver's 65 right now, and can confirm, it's a great watch. Strap monster too, I have half a dozen straps and one ss bracelet that I'm constantly switching between.
OP, if able, try to see this watch in person. It really doesn't photograph well due to the extremely domed crystal. Its stunning in person!
