For the record I had the same complaints about the Rolex 5-digit bracelets and sold my 16710 partly because of it. BUT at least the Rolex had micro adjustments on the clasp. If GS gave me that I could ignore the other bracelet issues that people bring up. It's not a bad bracelet and it's comfortable if you manage to get it sized perfectly. But it could be better.

Look at the link I posted above. That's a $675 watch with a very similar bracelet design to what's on nearly all of the GS heritage line. Somehow they were able to put micro adjust on there without destroying the aesthetics of the bracelet and clasp. Why can't GS do the same???
