    I steer away from bracelets. Actually, none of my watches have one.
    That Autavia is growing on me and it's going to be leather as well.

    Everything changed for me after i used heuer 01 43mm bracelet. It feel so much better than anything i tried before. It used to be only leather strap for me.
    By the way, do you have swatch body&soul ? That one is bracelet only option unless you change it
    Yeah the autavia is really growing on me too.

    Yep, an original back from childhood days; I think they recently reissued it with a strap option.
    I don't wear it though, preserving the good memories in what's left of it, although in quite a decent shape.

    Hahahaha all my swatch perhaps in better condition than all my other watches probably because i know they not sapphire glass so i tend to play extra care when i am with them.

    Cheers

    That looks like a Heuer 01 but with the 'minute' numbers as seen on the Carrera with the brown strap..

    I wonder if this is a single model or a new range- maybe the Carrera Heuer-01 Drive Timer (see text on the dial)...and that this is the Red Bull edition?

    Looks to have a blue leather strap (new design). Not sure about the date legibility?

    You are probably right, these could be a new range, which include the Red Bull model. Also right on point on the date, as it still looks pretty hard to read, despite the subdued (less polished elements) design.

    Speaking of which; we haven't seen new episodes of the Grand Prix Monaco limited edition.

    The day-date Calibre 16 with grey dial is still on the catalogue.. it's been like three years now.

    Think it was the Chinese that were pushing the size up as it has historicly been them that will jump on the larger models of all brands.
    Have several articles in older (10years) luxe aficionados on the Chinese penchant for larger watches
