Nothing as fancy as some of the other options, but I swapped the bracelets on a few of my watches and here are the results. Original strap beside watch. I am happy. I'm thinking a two tone jubilee or rice (steel + gold) for the Alpinist will make it pop more.
Sun/Moon, Alpinist, Cocktail time.
Sun/Moon has the $30 bracelet from Amazon.
The other two are from Uncle Seiko about $100 CAD each.
For the jubilee, Uncle Seiko @ $100 is a noticeable step up from the $30 jubilee, but it's still inferior to the original jubilee that came with my SKX009 Pepsi diver. I am starting to understand the nuances of the bracelets now. I guess I've always had decent/passable bracelets.
I'll need to look for a curved end sometime so that I can get the Super Engineer bracelet on something. I have one watch with it, I'd love another. That bracelet is underrated IMO.
