I really want to like it but I have a hard time with the holes in the Ocean Racer. Those a much bigger. It does have a old school look, I mean if you are old, not that I am old, well I am a little. Looks like something you would have on in a 60's muscle car.

I like it in the pic, and I bet it looks even better in person. The rest of you guys are wrong 8)

I think that bracelet is going to turn out to be a hit! Just give it time, and have a look at it for real, and not just a pic, when you finally get a chance to see one.
I, too, was mistaken when they changed the Seawolf. My comments were not unlike the ones in this thread. I am now the proud owner of a new 09 Seawolf! Seeing it at my AD changed my mind completely. I can't wait to get more info on the strap, and see how the clasp works etc. and how the size is adjusted. Also the price. I am already thinking it will look great on my Seawolf, I just hope the strap will be available for all the watches.
Cheers,
Carl

I know I am in the minority, I really like the idea of that Bracelet. I will have to see it in person to make it final.

I also love that vomiting :) though.

Doesn't look at all comfortable to me. And like has been said, it doesn't fit the style. But I'm sure there will be plenty of buyers.
