5960 owners, wrist shots!

Calling all 5960 enablers! I’m in the market for a 5960, thinking of white. Would love some shots to see how it looks with bracelets and different straps that you guys might have.

Thanks

I’ve wanted this for a long time and finally pulled the trigger on a like new one a few weeks ago. I’ve been wearing it constantly other than in the water. But with the bracelet I can get it wet, wash it easily, and just live life with three kiddos without much worry. It’s super comfortable with the smaller links and lightweight. I keep the chrono running for the seconds hand and just use the flyback button when need to time something. I’m really happy with it so far.

That's beautiful. I think I'll have an incoming soon. This is too tempting. I am looking for something I can dress down/up with leather straps and with the bracelet this is perfect.

I know its 30m water resistant only, but, is that not enough for using on a pool day?

Thanks! Happy to enable! I might get a strap at some point, but love the bracelet and fits so well. As for WR, the crown doesn’t push down tightly so would be afraid it could pop out easily if knock on something. I fully submerge in my sink to wash though with no issues. Look forward to the incoming!

Beautiful! I wish they all had the bracelet option, along with strap. I hate straps in summer as sticks to my arm and need to rinse off oftentimes. But yours looks great!

Yes, I live in Miami and it’s summer all year. Except for the 10 nights when it’s 60f and high humidity, so strap watches usually live in the safe.

The bracelet makes it more practical for me.

I guess it’s time to post mine too

Thanks all for the pictures.

I had been offered this by AD in 2018 and I passed on it… kicking myself for it. Oh well!

Thanks again all
