I’ve always preferred screws and in fact have occasionally passed on some lower end pieces purely because they had pin bracelets. I consistently replace Seiko bracelets with aftermarket so I don’t have to deal with their pins and collars. (Although to be fair the microscopic screws on a Grand Seiko bracelet are no picnic either!)
But the Antarctique bracelet is a much different class than any pins I’ve used previously. I’m so impressed by the included pin pusher that holds the links in EXACTLY the right spot! It’s a small thing but makes such a difference for ease of use. Just another example of how well thought out everything with this watch is.
Don’t let the pins deter you. Adjusting the Antarctique bracelet is as easy as any watch I’ve had and the links stay very secure. And as pointed out, the pins allow a thinner, sleeker bracelet.
