[chinaboy1021]

having a hard time choosing. i love the roman numerals but i love the stainless steel braclet of the other.



detailed pics:
leather
stainless steel

post any other suggestions if you have any. keep it clean and thin.

Do a group buy with someone who likes leather strap and non Roman numerals and then swap the bracelet.

im not sure if they're interchangable or not. are they?

Steel bracelets can pinch and get sweaty. I prefer the leather bands.

Bands are usually replacable ... could always buy the face you want, and put the band you want on it.

*edit*
Just had a look at the linked pics ... the steel one appears much more "dress" than the leather one. Choice would also depend on when you expect to wear it.

I like stainless steel band personally so that one appeals me more

Are they both the same price?

I definitely have a personal preference for the stainless steal. Something about the leather band just doesn't do it for me.

The silver is just so...shiny.

SS is more expensive than leather by $13usd

i prefer SS over leather too, but i LOVE the roman numerals!!

steel bracelets are apparently more trendy these days.

so, if you're buying a Tissot, you probably care about what's trendy, therefore the SS bracelet would be a better choice.

stainless steel looks better, and will be more durable, but less comfortable.

Always buy a stainless steel version of a watch if the price isn't much different. You can always buy a leather band for about $20 after. You don't have to get the exact same leather band, but you should be able to find one similar.

On my Omega SpeedMaster Professional, the watch with stainless steel band costs $3700. Leather version of the watch is $3600. But what they don't tell you is that the steel band itself is something like $500 if you buy it afterwards.

Now now, don't judge people like that. Maybe he just likes the look of the watch over any others.
