Yes if the R had gold bracelet I would have loved to have that. The red accents adds to it.

Assuming cost was not a factor, 1R, hands down.

The bracelet. Bracelets go with sport watches and croc with dress watches (except in California-lol).

Thank you! I have been chasing that watch for 8 years now, back when they were $40k and I couldn't afford one. Then as I made more money, they kept climbing in price and were still out of reach. Finally prices have softened but this is my final grail. For now at least.

I am currently on the waitlist for the leather strap. The full rose gold is more in demand and harder to get and is also very popular with celebrities/rappers etc because it is very blingy, it also sells for double the retail. I prefer the leather strap just for practical reasons i.e It will attract less attention if you wear it frequently, the leather will not scratch as much as the braclet

correct, i have worn the R for four months almost without interruption and had no issues, neither scratches nor attracting unwanted attention.

For me, I think the R’s dial is one of the sportiest dial out there. With composite strap, it is very easy to wear. 1r is nice but too hard to wear for my life style.

I went with the r instead and use the leftover funds for a 5968a next year

Btw for fun, if you are a fan of Chorno, car , etc, don’t miss this movie.

The full gold, is so damn sexy! The lack of red accents on the dial and no silver sub dials make it look more mature and minimalistic, for what is already a busy dial.

All gold. If your going with a nautilus, I would go with a bracelet.

I prefer the leather strap look. Both are gorgeous though.
