Del 4,449 Posted May 28, 2017 Thinking seriously about picking up a TAG F1 quartz chrono. I really like the design and I'm a bit of an F1 fan too so it's one I've fancied on and off for a while now. The model I'm looking at is shown below but can be had with either a rubber strap or s/s bracelet, but I'm not sure which I'd choose... I actually really like it with the rubber strap but I'm wondering if I'd be better off in the long run getting the bracelet version for only an extra £100. Thoughts?

rawbaws 91 Posted May 28, 2017 For 100 pounds I would go bracelet and an aftermarket strap. Much easier to sell in the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would certainly be easier (and cheaper) to get a spare rubber strap than a bracelet, although I do like the design of the TAG rubber strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BM284 1,518 Posted May 28, 2017 I have to say go for the bracelet - I have an '06 F1 and have played around with different straps and it's always found its way back to the bracelet! Good luck wit the purchase Del :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boycie 473 Posted May 28, 2017 Both Del, each has it's own benefits, but for me the bracelet looks very nice indeed :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheTinMan 13 Posted May 29, 2017 Bracelet, for sure. Rubber gets boring after a while and you won't have the original bracelet to put it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
