Aquanaut Bracelet
I'm looking to buy my first PP. I had my heart set on a Nautilus 5711 and went to see it at my local AD. They had a white 5711 but I actually prefered the 5167/1 which they also had in stock. It was the bracelet version 5167/1.I would love to hear members opinions on the bracelet for the 5167. BTW, If I go for the bracelet version, then I would also buy the rubber strap.So, do you like the bracelet or not so keen on it?Thanks!
