Should I change the strap/bracelet
I now have 5 watches all with bracelets. I have replaced all bracelets with leather straps because I prefer the looks and find them more comfortable.
I have just bought a BLNR "Batman" again on a bracelet and can't decide if by changing to leather I will spoil the watch. I know I could always change back but I would like some opinions on the swap. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |

It’s all about change and variety I think. I switch my Pelagos to the rubber strap in the summer. I’m considering getting a SS bracelet for my croc Navi. My BLNR? I think that stays on SS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wear my BLNR on black croc. I prefer it, but it all comes down to personal taste.
Really, though, you're thinking too hard about this. Buy a cheap leather strap and try it out. In five minutes you'll know if you like it or not. |

I love the look of straps and I have tried many of my watches on straps but always end up a day or so later back on that glorious SS bracelet.

I haven't put leather on my BLNR yet, but I've switched it up between the bracelet and Everest rubber every couple weeks or so.

Always preferred bracelet over strap myself.

All my sport models are on Everest band. If that helps. Yes, it is down to personal preferences.

I would keep a BLNR on the bracelet, but I have my BB on rubber and love it...

It took me almost 14 years to replace the bracelet with a strap. Now I do it weekly, depending on the mood, if labour day or weekend, etc.
Best regards, |
