SLA 017 bracelet

Is it that bad? I’m confused because I rarely see pictures of it on the bracelet but it looks fine to me.

What do you all think?

I’ve got a SLA 037 and am thinking about switching because I always prefer bracelets. But if the bracelet on the 017 is bad anyway then I guess I shouldn’t.

I owned an SLA017 and found the bracelet to be just fine. Just like the one on the SPB143, 149. Save yourself 4k and look at the SPB143. Basically the same watch in appearance and wear but can be had for around 1k. Both are a strap monsters. I sold the SLA017 and have not looked back because of the SPB143.

I did have the SLA037 but found the the SPB149 was again a similar watch for a fraction of the cost. You can find a SPB149 for around $1400 and it is a lot of fun for the money. The SLA037, at over 6k, is great for everything except the price. Once again, save yourself about 5k and get the SPB149.

Anyone know if the SLA 017 bracelet scratches the case? Something to do with the endlinks? I've read bits of that here and there but not sure if true?
