It’s a super cool watch and I’ve often considered it a realistic Bond watch or the average man’s Pelagos. The only things holding me back are that it’s oversized at around 44mm, atleast for me, and that it doesn’t have a sapphire crystal. In regards to the polished bracelet, I’ve previously used fine sandpaper (grit 1000 or above) to brush out the polished centerlinks on my Casio. It doesn’t look perfect, but it looks pretty good at normal viewing distances. Otherwise I’ve considered putting this watch on a grey NATO or black rubber strap if I got it. You could also go for a grey and black NATO if you really want to channel the Bond vibes. I think the key part in getting a strap would be to get titanium hardwear so it matches the watch.
I had similar concerns about the size as my wrists aren’t big but it wears lighter/slimmer than its case size might suggest. The crystal concern is legit but obviously wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. And thanks for the suggestions. Grey and black would be cool indeed. Might be hard to find straps with titanium hardware but I’ll keep an eye out.
