5-series Rolexes vs newer ones...

[the dark knight]

The debate over bracelets got me thinking. I quite like my Tudor BB54's bracelet, esp the modern T-Fit system. But I dare say I think I may prefer a 5-digit style bracelet, esp the clasp, for a more overall vintage feel that matches the watch. I even have a jubilee and oyster that fit a 16710 that I tried on the BB54, but neither would work.

So far my favorite "vintage re-issue" watch I've tried from any brand is the Zenith Chronomaster Revival because it even keeps the old style stamped metal friction clasp from yesteryear. Just matches the overall aesthetic of the watch.

I guess my point is I'm kind of coming back around to those 5 digit bracelets, esp because imo they fit the overall aesthetic of those watches so well.

I fitted on my YM a modern DJ oyster clasp with easy link. That gives it a modern feel
