Wearing my daily Tudor 76100 on new style bracelet or OG folded link bracelet - just

My daily/favorite watch is a Tudor 76100 I brought back to life. I bought a service band for it, the Tudor 78500 which is more modern, non folded hollow center links.

I have finally sourced the last original part I was missing, and the nutty side of me now wants to get the right band now that the thing will basically be all OG.

I’m curious if it would be advisable with some of my hobbies, I shoot MG’s, do gunsmith work. I actually wear this watch. If I don’t let it dangle like a bracelet would the folded link band hold up?

just a suggestion, but considering the repetitive recoiling of a MG, i don't wear any of my mechanical movement watches at the range, and actually don't like to even when running Title I firearms

something as nice (and expensive) as that 76100 i'd definitely not wear at the range

Id be more worried about the lume cracking loose. The folded bracelet would hold up fine but will stretch more over time than the solid. It really depends on whether you like the feel. They feel quite different on the wrist.

Get yourself a Casio for manual work. Put that baby on when you get home.

That is exactly what I do with my 75090 (black face and bezel). My Casio Illuminator for home, yard work and exercise, etc.

I figured I was screwing up. I had one stolen once because I took it off while washing a car and left it out - now it’s a issue for me... I’ll leave it on when I know better. Glad to know I was being an idiot before I broke it.

I think I’ll keep it on the current band and be more careful.

It’s good enough for time travelling so it should hold up.

Pick up the Casio for the hard work. You won’t regret it
