Hi all,
I'm definitively a rivet bracelet fan! I've been wearing mine for 4 months now and I cannot feel more in love. Is quite rustic, noisy and not very safe (not flip lock) but I love its industrial design!uploadfromtaptalk1458945469104.jpg
Seems some brands launched rivet bracelets again. I'm happy with this! I'm alone or just another fan?
Would like to know your opinions, thoughts or whatever you want to say!!
Thanks in advance for your comments!

I love rivet bracelets too. But, I think like most, I love them because their form follows their function. With modern reissue rivet bracelets (and all modern vintage reissues really), function follows form. It's form for form's sake. Which is, in my opinion, dishonest/false/etc. Real rivet bracelets are cool, so they try to make modern bracelets cool too, but by being something they're not. Just doesn't sit well with me.

I like it. My older Air King bracelet rattles a bit and I quite enjoy the sound.

I think some people over think things.

I personally don't like them but maybe because I am used to more modern watches that have "evolved". If I ever go vintage then they would fit the watch and be appropriate.

Not really a fan here... IMHO, the rivits have messed up the clean crisp lines of the oyster bracelet. If I didn't already have a BB, I'd get the leather option only. I always buy on bracelet and add my own strap options. For this one though, I'd make an exception.

+1...I have a birth year (1958) Air King, and I think the bracelet really sets that era watch apart in a good way.

Best,

The 7206 is my favorite oyster bracelet. Those old Swiss made rivets are so thin and light--super comfortable.
I have not held or worn one of the new rivets to compare. I do like the look in pictures on the BB.

I can relate. It took me about a year to find mine. A 1.5xx from 67

Beautiful watch! We are close. I was born in late 1966.
