That's nice. Very tempting.
So I wish I was James Bond, just for the day.

Re: Steinhart Ocean One 'Premium' Blue
I never really knew any better, having owned watches with bracelets that did not taper. Then I bought the mkii vantage and I was delighted with the taper which made the bracelet feel more comfortable. It is one of the reasons I bought the new style bracelet for my C60. That feels very comfortable on the wrist too. Strangely, I have no problem with the 26/26mm straps I have. Just now have a thing about bracelets that do not taper.blowfish89 wrote:After getting the C60 bracelet, I too instantly made the same observation. C60 is either 22/18mm or 22/20mm while Steinhart is 22/22mm (no taper). But why is a tapered bracelet better? I like the wider Steinhart.jmarchitect wrote:They look like they stay the same width from lug to clasp, even though I am sure there is a taper.

If I didn't already own a blue c60 I would be very tempted. The right shade of blue to my eyes, and the ceramic bezel and display back would do it for me. If it was a straight choice between this or a C60, the Steinhart would just clinch it.

Love my blue c60 but this does seem nicer. I don't need two blue watches though.

Very nice, if I was in the market for a new diver I would choose this over the Blue C60. The Scooter Blue however would just clinch it.
