The steel, for me away, Kinda seems like the second best option so for me the Rose two-tone Is number 1 or for a toned down look go for your blue strap. BTW I think its would look great on a brown leather strap!

| I agree with the other gentlemen. SS won't tie in well enough with the gold in the head. I think you've already got the best bracelet for that particular watch. If I were in your situation, I might think about a brown or black strap, depending on the dial color (is it black or blue?), or just put the money towards another Ling. Just my .02. |

Hey Daz, How are you mate? Can you get hold of SS bracelet to try or trial to see if you like it. I personally like the TT bracelet on a TT watch. I think the SS would look too blingy, if that makes sense. Cheers Aaron |

Ill disagree with these guys and say that I think that a full stainless bracelet would look great with the two tone head. Ive seen one before, and it looks awesome, particularly on models like yours with the full rose bezel. EDIT: This is the best pic I could find with a quick google. Its from some replica site, but you get the idea. (mods, please delete if necessary)

Not a gold lover (bronze maybe) but I think the bi metal bracelet would suite best. |

There are several timepieces I would buy if they were offered with a bracelet, but then again there are timepieces I wouldn't own because of the bracelet (see Superocean Heritage) In my opinion, bracelets are the only way to go. Failure rates are rare and they are much easier to maintain. You don't have to replace them like leathers or skins after constant wear. Plus, I think they add beauty to a timepiece. ~Brian |
