Tell ya the truth, I like it the way it is, I wouldn't even bead blast it. But then I'm no slave to fashion, and if YOU like it, that's whats important. The gap is there with most straps, and if the band looks good the gap doesn't bother me that much. What would bother me is the 120 grams the super engineer band weighs, sorta defeats the Ti of the watch case. jmho
Thanks, funny that you’ve made this observation. I was thinking the same thing after completing the project. I tried looking for a Ti bracelet, but couldn’t find one that appealed to me. Especially since I wanted a non-tapering 22mm/22mm bracelet.
I did find a Kobold Ti bracelet selling for $450.00 bucks, but it wasn't in very good shape (IMO) and the others were over $550.00 bucks.
If I didn’t perspire so heavily, I’d wear the Vortex on Ted Su’s strap. But since I live/work in a hot area. I gotta go with a metal band during the hot/hotter months.
However, as far as the bracelet’s weight, it’s not bad on the wrist and (IMO) wears very well. Especially since the watch head/case isn't (top) heavy (?).
