Review on Unbeatable Style: Stainless Bracelets - Deployment Brushed Polished by Bryan Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Should cost a lot more. Buy with confidence!

This is a five star product with some caveats. Another reviewer said this bracelet looks like a $100 strapcode bracelet. I think that is very correct. Size: very light. The tools they use are not Bergeon Swiss Professional Grade but they do an excellent job. Be sure to push the pins in the right direction! I used a hammer and pencil sized tool, which I prefer to the device that came with it. Installation: The links have almost no tolerances. That's really good engineering. The end links leave a very, very small gap, so the bracelet hardly wobbles laterally. Most people don't realize it, but it's there. At least it helps the bracelet attach to the lugs without too much drama. The clasp has a good strong latch. Finish: damn good. I have it on my $1400 Sinn and it looks like it was made specifically for this watch. The contrast between matt and polished elements is very pleasant. Comfort: above average. The bracelet is highly adjustable and fits my 6.5 inch wrist perfectly. The clasp is a little sharp and I've pulled my hair out a few times. The thickness of the strap balances the head of the watch well. with a grain of salt. It's 316 stainless steel. The bracelet uses split pins, which some may think are cheap. I like them because they work, don't come loose like screws and are very easy to assemble. Association between screw bracelets and luxury. but to each his own. My biggest complaint: The spring bars are too small. When I first put this bracelet on, I thought it was too easy. It seemed reliable for the most part, but on a whim I tested on the rods provided by Sinn. Of course, the Sinn rods are a few millimeters longer. I strongly recommend that you use OEM spring bars and not the ones they sell. However, I can recommend this product unreservedly. I never expected to peel off the protective plastic like it was a $500 bracelet, but in fact the manufacturer made sure to put it on. I bought it to test the waters before moving on to the much more expensive Staib. Now I could just stick with it. $28 very well spent!
