So that shite can smell like sweat during the Summer? Nah...

Though I do change a few of mine out when it's cool enough to justify it.

For real though, stainless steel bracelets are the most versatile straps/“bands” out there. I don’t want to be concerned with getting my leather strap wet when I’m washing my hands, sweating on it if it’s hot outside, or having to take my watch off before I jump in my pool.

Leather is fine for a dress watch, but steel makes more sense for an every day watch.

ETA: steel is more comfortable than leather also, IMO.

chrome

I actually found a Sicura diver on Ebay for a song...shitty chrome plated brass case, lugs are bent to shite and the pin-lever (EB 8021, marked "23 Jewels" ) pos movement ain't worth fixin...but the dial is VERY nice (beneath the Trit-flakes and scratched crystal...

so I'm fidna Frankenwatch the shite out of it.
I already have an orphaned Bulova ETA 2824-2, a clone for the EB 8021
and ordered a Submariner-style 41mm ss case.

He also threw in the Mercedes hands like these:

On either a 5-ring Zulu or black leather NATO?
It will be the toughness.
