It's a Kenneth Cole and, while it's "all bracelet" style is kinda neat, it's just not me. And, obviously, the watch is a bit worse for wear. Note the applied markers that have come adrift and are floating around inside. I am not happy! It's been Rode Hard And Put Up Wet, and no doubt about it. I've already got too many projects, so I chunked it in the spare parts box and didn't think much more about it. Not for a couple of hours, at least. Then it occurred to me that I have a watch with 24mm lugs that's never been on a bracelet. Hmmmmm...

I'm really diggin' the heft of the combo! The solid-link bracelet's quite substantial and, while I didn't weigh it seperately, the combo is, at 205 grams, by far my heaviest watch.

Alas, the bracelet does heve quite a lot of wabi. And I still can't quite decide about the looks. But, assuming that I still like the combo after a week or too, I just may refinish it.

What say you, PMWF related post ? Thumbs Up or Down for this Watch? ?
