The heritage bracelets are great. Diver 300, not so much. And this planet ocean is a dandy!

The 3861 Speedmaster and FOIS flat link bracelet are really good. Not a lot of complaints about them.

I should have clarified that I was referring to Seamasters. I completely agree re: Speedmasters.

Can't argue with you on that one. The Uncle Seiko and Forstner bracelets are better than the Seamaster bracelets.

The Seamaster Pro bracelet is literally the reason I don’t own one. I love the dial, the bezel, the blue waves, everything…. Everything but that bracelet….

Why not buy a cheap used one and put your own strap on ?

Or get one on the rubber strap with folding clasp. That is a pretty nice setup. Blue on blue.

Several really ideas in this thread. I agree with the GMT comments, I would be tempted for sure.

The platinum speedy is by far my favorite in the lineup. At 35k then heck yeah, 40 maybe but neither the strap or bracelet versions are worth their ask imho.

Also really love the ceramic dark side of the moon. But it’s just too big for me personally. At the traditional speedy size of 42mm that would be a real winner.

There are many pieces I still want. My bank account has other ideas however! I would like to see a different clasp on the SMP300 however. Something a bit more svelt please. More in line with the new Speedy 38mm clasp which I love.
