Ridged Strap Men

Ahh, grasshopper...

The watch IS a real divers one - one of the finest submersible chronometres in the world. Any WIS who is worthy of true appreciation of your investment is deafened by the strap/clasp's authentic rugged understatement.

Although magnificent, the glittering SS bracelet is alarmingly highly emulated and much more easily mistaken as another bauble from watch world as we glance at every attractive SS bracelet that passes us in the malls.

I personally can quickly appreciate the stature of the Speedy, the Bond, oyster or jubilee bracelets and they definitely have earned their place; although it is the 'stock' or 'out of the box' setup for any buyer of an SMP, of which hundreds are sold each day.

FOR ME, the strap however holds a greater (IMHO) style of higher WIS knowledge, additional investment and non-wannabe utility. A sort of 'less is more'. It reflects the careful and calculated further refinement (highly tuned) of the priviliged brandishment of an indisputably world-class weapon in the arsenal of a man's man.

It is so quiet it shouts to only those who have learned to hear.

I invite comments from other RSM (ridged strap men).
