My comparison is based on Watches that sell in the $599./$699. range which if everyone remembers is what the Scooby sold for originaly and with that in mind the bracelet fell short compared to my Stowa .. Oceanauts or Sieko which sell in that price range and lesshand6.gif....at $250. I agree the bracelet is nice and is always the way to go but this is the first positive note I have heard about the Scooby bracelet...most report the link pins as being weak and the collars
falling out without notice....not my experience but based on what I have read and heard in converstaion ..it is what it is :D Wear it in Good health Eric and at $225. you can't beat that!cool10.gif>>>I agree with you Mark on this particular model I was not impressed with the bracelet and all complaints seem to center around that...I think the thick rubber strap on this model may be the way to go and I am curious to hear what Eric has to say about it!hand6.gif<<<
The bracelet is definately the way to go on this watch. There is nothing wrong with the bracelet in my opinion. In fact, it is one of the strengths of the watch. The one I have is flat out perfect. You can always customize a rubber strap later. You CAN'T customize a bracelet to fit this watch. Get the bracelet!!!
With all the known issues on the watch (crown operation, bracelet pins, caseback screws) I have to say I never experienced any problem with the bracelet. the crown was sticky at first and I did lose a case back screw...but no bracelet issues....
I don't know its fair to compare this watch with those in its inflated "retail" price range. At sub three bill this is a great buy in my opinion..
BTW- refering to Eri'xs post... Sorry you missed it bud...had I only been wasting more time at work and gotten there a smidge earlier...
We'll keep hunting!! Keep us updated brudda!
