Hi, having recently purchased a Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium, I'm considering changing the strap for a metal bracelet.
I'm therefore asking the more knowledgeable on here for recommendations for a decent, quality, secure matt black PVD coated bracelet.
The watch, for reference:


I'm thinking possibly this one?

Eh? Black PVD bracelets are under a fiver, shipped, on AliExpress. £150 for that one seems a tad excessive.

And a £5 piece of Chinese tat seems a tad underwhelming and not "decent quality, secure" as asked for.

All the bracelets I have bought from AliExpress have been exactly that. No sharp edges, secure, decent quality and amazing value. Has your experience been different, or are you talking out of your hat!

Best wishes

Buying bracelets is a minefield IMO. That Strapcode one doesn't look all that to me (Looks like a pressed clasp?).

Hence asking the question smile
I'd like something decent, good quality and secure to use as a daily strap on an expensive (to Me) watch..

Yeah I get it, just saying that it’s difficult to buy a decent strap and I wouldn’t necessarily take price to be an indicator of quality.

There is a German brand Staib who might be worth a look, they do mesh bracelets. Meant to produce them for Omega.

Those do look nice, but I really need one in matt black to match the case
