I bought my U50 on a strap, but now I'm thinking about getting one of the new quick-adjust bracelets. $590 is awfully expensive (for me, at least), and before I buy the bracelet, I'd like to know if it comes with any half links. If not, does …

I’m considering buying a Draken Aoraki, but the movement – a Miyota 82S5 – is holding me back. It hacks and handwinds, and Draken has put it in a Faraday cage for 20,000 A/m magnetism protection, but I’ve heard that it’s often less accurate than the NH35 and it may be difficult to service, as least compared to the NH35. I’ve also heard that Miyota’s Parashock system isn’t as good as Seiko’s Diashock.

Custom Erika’s Originals MN on my Sub 300T
I’m a big fan of Erika’s Originals MN straps, but was disappointed that Erika didn’t make the strap I wanted for my Doxa – ‘original’ green with a hot orange stripe, to match the dial of my Sub 300T Professional.
