Santos Bracelet

Hi All,

Firstly thank you to all who posted their positive santos experiences which helped me get accross the line and break away from mainly pure rlx.

The santos large has massively over delivered. Awesome, awesome piece. Super impressed and, like many of you, thoroughly recommend.

Question for those a little ahead of me.. the (fantastic) bracelet doesn’t lie flat like the oysters I’m used to. There is a limit to how much bend within each individual link you get. As a SS piece I would not have thought this would flex over time but it does seem to relax and flex more over the last month.

Generally I chuck the watch into my gym bag like anything else and put it back on after shower. Otherwise it doesn’t leave my wrist, even when asleep.

Have anyone experienced similar bracelet progression?

Thank you,

C



The below two pics are the current 6 and 12 o’clock ends. Not a before and after etc. at the beginning the flex was much much less. I’ve had it a month so reckon anything happening this quick must be likely the watch getting run in.

Thank you

Hey all,

Just wondering if any santos owners had seen this and could post or give feedback on what their bracelet flex was like after some time of ownership?

Thank you in advance

I’m actually wearing the Santos today so this photo was taken now. I’ve had this Santos for a few years and wear it regularly in my rotation. Absolutely no flex at all but that’s also because I take care of all my watches. Definitely invest in a watch pod or case. Don’t throw it around!
