And if I may say so myself we're happy with how the pairing of this watch and our Moss link Green Calfskin Strap came together. The soft mid-tone green really provided the perfect supporting role in making the patina come alive. link I'm not a color therapist by training but somehow the green strap highlights the champagne and gold colors link really well. It's all in the details and strap selection is the finishing touch that we always take our time in considering each week.

Some of the brands in the link stories below may surprise you while others are classic value props.

While the price of the standard El Primero chronograph 10000 on bracelet faces stiff competition it's tough to think of a direct competitor once you slap a triple calendar and moonphase link in it. The most direct comp is the Breitling Premier B25 Datora 42 a nice watch that is also 14000 but measures 42mm link x 15.3mm thick.
