The biggest turn off for me on my old man's Evo was the bracelet (5 links), it just felt/look... 'womanly'.


Im totally with you on that one. Something about multiple links like that just turns me off. Beautiful bracelets, just not for me. My Navi bracelet just sits in the box.

It´s an awesome piece! I think it´s a pioneer and a trendsetter model. As its the one that introdused the first controversial, but now approved and widely spread stencil numbers to B.Lings. The B&W dial is so crisp and it makes the white date window fit perfectly. Couple of old shots of my heavy metal. :wink:

I'm liking it more and more, visited a AD after work today. It does feel a bit thick (well most Breits feel thick to me), but i REALLY like that bracelet. The biggest turn off for me on my old man's Evo was the bracelet (5 links), it just felt/look... 'womanly'.

Different strokes for different folks. I would never have gotten my Chronomat or my Montbrillant if they didn't have the 5 and 7 links bracelets, respectively.
