As for my feeling about the topic:

I used to think it was not worth spending all that money on a watch and getting rubber looking bracelet on it.

Then at some point, someone on this forum mentioned that the difference in the price between OF and full bracelet PM, is a lot more than the value of the gold of the bracelet, so basically, if PM bracelet version is acceptable value, then PM with OF is even more of a value.

Then I see the SS version (just the head) vs. PM version of the same watch (just the head) and note the price difference, and I can't justify spending all that extra money to just get that little gold compared to the SS version.


Basically what I am saying is that you can't look at the OF vs. PM bracelet discussion from a value proposition point of view. Neither one is worth the cost difference when compared to the SS model.

My first PM piece will be a full bracelet one. But subsequent ones will have an OF or two. :)
