best band for 1675

It is amazing to me how much better the watch looks on a 78360/580 links. Super solid and crisp


Also the endlinks seem to fit much better than 280/380/258's

opinions?

Personally, I prefer the lighter weight C&I rivet Oyster bands. I have my 1981 GMT 16750 fitted with one from 1967. They are very comfortable bands!

While the 78360/580 is a great band, i do prefer the early 70s jubilee band.

I recently switched from the 7836 which I really liked, to a Jubilee which I love. IMHO the look and feel is amazing...
