INCOMING! One word to describe...."Bitchin"

Went originally to pick up the 300M Diver Chrono but size was too similar to my DSSD. Then saw this guy staring at me. They threw in the deployant clasp/rubber setup and I was sold.....

Nice - congratulations! Like the gloves as well, did you take the picture just after you stole the car and didn’t want to leave any prints?

Ha! Forgot to mention that the driver didn't need the car nor the watch anymore!

One of the favorite watches in my collection. Especially with that clasp and strap it’s a home run! Wear it in good health!

I get that totally. I still have the origilnal rubber with tang that came with it. I consider this watch my dressiest piece so I'm OK with the deployant. If I ever go into water, the dssd gets the tap on the shoulder.

Really nice. Are deployants not as good as tang in the water?

I agree, however, they did take out the new SS "No Time To Die" Milanese bracelet that is now for sale which fits any of the 300M divers - really anything with a 20MM spacing. I didn't take it, and they didn't fit it to my watch for me to see as I wasn't really interested at the moment. But I am pondering picking it up as I like to switch up my straps/bracelets from time to time.

What do you think? Do you think that SS Milanese bracelet would work with this TT watch head? I am not interested in the TT bond style bracelet for this model.

I'm also not interested in wasting $750 on a SS bracelet that will look "meh" on this setup.

Hi,
I picked up the new SS “No Time to Die” Milanese bracelet recently. I have the exact same watch. Like you, I’m not a fan of the OEM bracelet but I wanted a SS option. I wasn’t sure at first if the TT would work, but I think it does now that I’ve been wearing it. It absolutely changes the look and feel of the watch from a dressy version of the SMP 300 diver to a more rugged look. Here are a few pictures.

Congrats! Do you know what the model or description of the deployment is? How does it work with the bigger rectangular holes on rubber strap?
