What do you think of this combo?

I finally found a super nice beads of rice for my SMP300. Twin button deployant with flip over lock. Very smooth finish and a great thickness at 4.4mm. I was pretty surprised how heavy and well finished it is. But after looking everywhere for the perfect one, now I'm just not sure this style looks right with this watch. Also, I find myself surprisingly distressed that a watch of this magnitude, is on a $50 bracelet rather than an OEM. I know, I'm weird.

Thoughts?

Have to agree. I’d try it on the OEM Milanese bracelet if it were me.

is this a 2tone watch? (bezel, crown and HEV appear to be RG)

if so, I'd want the RG 2tone look on bracelet as well for balance.

the B.O.R. bracelet would be fine imo on a full steel Seamaster reference, just not on 2tone though

I’ve hear the beads of rice bracelets are supremely comfortable

Not a huge fan of that style. Seems like one of those things that's out of style and will never come back. Also, black, rose gold (?) and stainless just sort of look odd together. Maybe if the bracelet was also two tone.
