    those photos are what sold me on the idea of getting one of these (bracelets). i think that the Monaco (at least to my eyes) is one of those watches which you need to see on a wrist to appreciate the bracelet. Never though it looked good with a bracelet on table top photos. It does look very elegant on those shots. I just hope the quality is there. But I guess as it is 1/2 cost of many other brand bracelets it will be made accordingly.

    Since you are a man of high standards maybe you should try the bracelet before purchasing :whistling:

    i vote for the ‘Chunkier’ look of the new one. I think it would look better all brushed to match the case though. Those shiny center links are going to be scratch magnets. But so are all bracelets with polished links.

    Waiting to find out if AD can actually get it and what UK price is. Should find out next week. Will certainly post back feedback. It certainly looks the part.

    DC said this one is well made, just not to the same standard as the previous one. That's good enough for me. For anyone who prefers the look of the new over the old, it's hard to go wrong if the the price is indeed around $400.

    I really prefer the Monaco on leather straps anyway. But feel this is a nice option to have, so why not get one.

    I like the 1st gen bracelet much more than the newer one. Although I prefer my Monacos on straps!

    Wow! What a collection!
    Monaco looks best on a strap. But a change is also nice now and again too.!

    We need an updated shot that includes your CAW211R (Normal C11 Gulf) and CAW211Y (00's Monaco 50). ;)

    Those side-by-side photos tell the story clearly - the old bracelet has it by a country mile.

    Thanks @Calibre11.
