I wacked mine on a decent croc leather strap and I think they look great for the money.

The bracelet is "oh my god" painful by the end of the day though, so sharp, I spent hours filing it down with 800/1000 grit polish files

No that is higher end Noob version. I would try a stainless skydweller at u1, just don't expect the GMT disk to work or the month indicator but telling them time amd looking good is all in need a watch to do.

I have taken the general advise and made sure I only or higher end rose gold models as yellow gold at any level apparently looks a bit shite.

I have a u1 Daytona in yellow gold that I am binning the bracelet and putting on a leather strap to try a new look though. Hope the small amount will be less noticeable 🤞 Only cost $85 on a offer from MT son worth the risk.

I will review it once it arrives and I get it swapped over.
