I see a great watch and I see a great bracelet, but it looks out of place to me. Flat and square shapes do not mesh as nicely with a case that has many soft and round edges. Sorry.

It looks pretty well integrated on the Apollo 11 and suits the more vintage look it’s trying to portray. Then again the Apollo 11 has a slightly tweaked case. I do like that the end links pivot down, making the watch wear a little smaller.
But point taken. Horses for courses. Personally I think the current moon watch bracelet is what let’s the watch down. I guess if they can sort Out the protruding endlinks and fit an adjustable clasp then it might be a winner.
