Difficult with the sports models. I love the submariner bracelet and if that was on the BLNR then great. But just couldn't get on with the PCLs. Sub didn't once come off bracelet and the adjustment was brilliant. All personal preference I suppose.

Anyone interested here is a pic of the BLNR on the Everest. Sorry lighting not great! And neither are my photography skills!Image

They bother me, if they are small I assume it is due to the use and I do not worry. If they are older, I solve them myself or my watchmaker. Change of local watch specialist.

Its not acceptable at all. There is no excuse for it. The amount of watches for sale i see that state 'Only slight marks on lugs from changing straps' yet ive changed a thousand straps and never made a mark. Its really not hard if you take care.

It would bother me but less over time. I had a watch sized, a very limited edition and they scratched the case back by letting the bracelet hit it. My insides almost melted from my anger but as I don't see it it bothers me...less.
