advice on 8500 straps
Im considering the 8500 planet ocean 42mm. I like the old style rubber straps however all the new POs i see have a rubber strap with deployant. the straps appear to be leather underneath. so therefor i doubt they would be good for water use. does anyone know if the older style rubber with tang buckle will work for the new 42mm 8500? im just not thinking i want the bracelet since it doesnt appear to have easy adjustments for wrist swelling. plus the rubber would be lighter on the wrist. thanks so much. i search all over and could not find my answer. ofrei didnt seem to list anything specific for the 8500 as far as rubber straps are concerned.

Help! 5196r v 3445
Probably buying my first and only Patek today. Looked at tons of Calatravas and these two are finalists. Aside from my aesthetic preferences, which I know has to be the final judge, is there anything I should know about comparing these two? It's from a reputable vintage dealer. Many, many thanks!!!
