I just bought a used SuperOcean Heritage 46 with both the mesh bracelet and the Ocean Racer deployment strap. Right now I have it on the mesh but I also love the strap. Question to owners with both bracelet and stap...how often do you change it up? I am not an expert in changing out the bracelet/strap but I did it once and it wasn't too bad! That being said this will not be a daily occurrence...I am thinking at most maybe weekly?

Just curious what others did. Thanks!

I've only had mine for a few days and have already changed between the bracelet and Pro Diver II about 4 or 5 times. Probably just the newness of it makes me go back and forth. I could see my self settling down to about 2 or 3 times per week until I get a new strap and then I'm sure it will ramp up again. lol.

Basically never. I tend to have a clear idea of what I want each watch to look like when I initially buy it - either on a certain strap or on a bracelet - and I tend to stick with it. The only time I tend to change straps is when they wear out. In fact I can only think of one occasion where I tried a blue croco on my white SA for a while just for the hell of it, before going back to brown.

The only other time I ever remove straps is if the watch is on leather/croco and I want to clean the head by submerging it. Other than that they stay put.

The whole constant strap changing thing just passes me by to be honest.

I'd probably change straps twice a week (among all of my watches, not per watch).

As the mood takes me.

Not that often with the B1 or the BB+ as the UTC modules are factors.

Thanks guys. Of my four "higher end" watches, two of them (the SOH and the Oris) has both a bracelet and a strap. THe Oris is a Limited Edition so I left the strap in its plastic and do not plan on using it anytime soon. It would just be the SOH that I will switch back and forth. As I mentioned I have been wearing the bracelet exclusively so far. I think I will change to the strap on Friday and wear it like that for the weekend!

Seems to be about each week for me. I have also gone the week day and weekend change.

Once a week, i usually wear the rubber straps on Friday since its the casual day of the week and on the weekends, depending on the event or mood im in.
