Just got this 24mm bracelet from watchadoo and installed it on my VIXA Nettuno SeaPower.  Very comfortable - chunky, but not heavy on the wrist. Was easy to size and install.  Couple of quick pics...

I gotta agree.................the watchadoo is one of the most comfortable bracelets I have worn.............and what a well made chunk of stainless steel for the money!  Yes....even the clasp!

Yeah............good question............a better one is why can't Rolex make a bracelet as good as an Invicta bracelet?

Ken, one might think that you were being a bit acerbic.

One might even say acidulous...

I bought one for my Orsa, but the finish is way to shiney. May need to take a scotch brite to it for a match.Now that I know how it looks on the vixa,I'll get 2. That looks very nice.

Sean... how do the case finishes of the VIXA and Orsa compare?  The bracelet (brushed) matches the VIXA perfectly, and I thought the Orsa I have coming was finished the same way?

Vixa is brushed, Orsa is a flat beadblasted finish. But the bezel and caseback are polished. Rasmus has a curved bracelet and a curved articulated rubber strap that fit it perfect. Somebody at wus posted one for sale with pics of the rasmus  on it. Looked cool but the entry fee is a bit steep.

I have a Watchadoo with a combo of brushed and polished finishes which did not work at all on the Orsa. I have seen photos of the all brushed bracelets on the Orsa and it has looked good in... I may try that at some point myself. Probably would like to get one for the Vixa as well...

I ended up putting it on my NauticFish where it looks right at home...

I had some work  done on my Nivrel today and asked my jeweler about doing that. Locally theres a bush jewelers that does custom mods, so I'll take it there and get the band and the top of the lug horns to match..

Thanks to KenC's tip, my Orient Red Beast not only is wearable now, but very comfortable to boot!
