Looks awesome!

Are you happy with the quality, weight/heft?
Totally pleased. Original 1171 bracelets are a bit obscene price wise, so this really fit the bill at a very reasonable price, basically $100 shipped.

If I could compare it to anything, it's very similar in feel to the Oyster Bracelet on my 14270 Explorer. If you are a fan of the older jingly-jangle bracelets, you will love it.

The OEM bracelet is way too heavy and to me makes the watch off balance, plus the lack of adjustment really sucks. This thing has plenty of micro adjustments for a perfect fit.

Best thing I did for this watch, much prefer a bracelet over a NATO anyway.
