The DOXA beads of rice bracelet.

Most comfortable I’ve ever worn.

Yep, those are winners. Great bracelet. I had a vintage one a long time ago and the bracelet was amazing.

That too. I had a Seamaster with the "mesh" bracelet and it is similar. Crazy cool and comfortable.

Does the clasp have a quick expansion feature like glidelock or is it just a divers extension?

I’m curious too, the web late just says folding clasp with wet suit extension ... doesn’t sound adjustable like a glidelock

Edit: Ratcheting dive suit extension ... what is this Chewy?

I know what you mean.

Don’t have a Doxa, but when the original bracelet for my 50+y.o. Omega was beyond repair, this beads of rice one was a great find.

Feels so good when I have it on.

Some versions do.

My 1500 was bought around 2005 and I now forget how it worked. But I recall tearing my index nail trying.

Micro adjustments.

Like a thing you use when you wrap a tree stump and you crank the click click click thing and it tightens then you arrrgh yank and the click thing adjusts with every arrrgh etc.

In my eyes the IWC pyramid bracelet is in a completely different class from the Doxa above.

Absolutely love the old IWC pyramid bracelet. The versions that came later never looked as nice as that.
