Has anyone ever put on a different bracelet on a watch like this? Don't mind the rubber one, but other options would be nice.

I've got the WAJ2111 which seems to pretty similar. I change out the bands all the time. If you ever want to offload that rubber though.. please let me know! Here's mine on grey canvas.

technically any straight end metal bracelet would work, and would probably be your cheapest route.

If you wanted the bracelet that matched the watch with the correct endlinks, that would be the harder option and also more expensive.

Not 100% sure on your lug width, but the 2111 has a 21mm width and it is the most pain in the butt size to find. Majority of the available straps out there are either 20 or 22. Depending on material, you could technically squeeze a 22 on it.

so when u store the watch, u just let it run? or do i pull the stem? once i start up and i adjust the date i should just make sure it didn't stop between the AM numbers where it's changing date.

I just let mine stop naturally and then when resting for use give a bit of a wind to start it running then advance the time until the date change forward, continue the time 6 am and the set the date and finally the time. May be a bit faffy but seems to work ok.

yeah, i dont pull the crown or anything. When it's time for the Tag to sit the bench in rotation, just gets stored away
