I love the RG markers as well, really come to life and sparkle under lamp light, was admiring mine today as I got bored of the TV.

I love how half of the comments here are about the bracelets. Not everyone buys these things and keeps them perfect. Enjoy the watch! I love mine as well!

not sure. the leather bracelet makes the watch more versatile, sporty to dressy.

Totally agree.

I have the same watch and wear it most days. Would not have bought it on rg bracelet regardless of cost. It would be simply too heavy.

As to the ornamental bracelets, regardless if they scratch the watch or not (which they will!), they distract from a beautiful design.

In my mind, a watch like this suffices to itself. No need for artifacts.

right, but i like to loosen things up a bit and distract from the gold patek stigma.
