I agree with you 100%. I have never owned a watch with a bracelet that felt so comfortable on my wrist. It's also the nicest looking bracelet I have seen on a diver's watch. The Bond SMP is one watch I would never wear on anything but its original bracelet, but, that's just me and my opinion. I think the Bond SMP was so well designed that I like it "as is".

Nevertheless, I will say that Claus's strap is the nicest I have seen on a Bond SMP. Some of the others I have seen make this beautiful timepiece look like a cheap toy.
