The bracelet looks cool to me. Vintage, and different.

Would anyone like to share their thoughts on it?

I like it because of the 37mm size! Although being a square/cushion case, it might wear larger than a 37mm round watch

It’s also neat that they kept it true to the original (is what I’ve read) and that they didn’t use faux lume
Hey OP,

Just picked up mine yesterday! I have always wanted an El Primero. Saw this at my local AD and walked out with it!

Very comfortable and great presence with a very subtle and pleasing feel of such a cool piece and movement on the wrist. Love the retro look with all the modern updates. The open back allows you to appreciate the El Primero movement.

The AD gave me the ladder bracelet which I may put it on this weekend.

I definitely recommend go try it on and I'll let the watch do the talking~!

Good luck hunting! Have fun!

Hey Jason!

Huge congrats!

There is no AD or boutique close to me, so I will have to wait until the next road trip.

I’m very happy for you, and cute dog btw!

If you could post some pics with the bracelet on, I would really appreciate it :D

47mm. It wears larger than a 40mm yacht master in my opinion.

Looks perfect on you by the way!
