The current Doxa bracelet is very well made & has an easy adjustment via the clasp to cope with wrist expansion (or contraction) due to heat.



The bracelet on my old GO Evo Sport was a work of art & also had micro adjustment on the clasp



I'm quite partial to the Omega mesh, but only on hooded lug watches



Sinn do some crackers - simple but handsome





Probably the best I've ever had is the JLC rubber coated SS one on my Navy SEALs - again this could be easily adjusted for length with out tools and the clasp was amazing




Horribly expensive though!

Current favourite is probably the Pelagos



Simple, well made and again with easy micro adjustment. The only complaint would be that the clasp is not the most visually appealing, but it is a very functional design

Many consider ICW as having the best engineered bracelets, but equally many say the ones on Grand Seiko are as or more comfortable than their Rolex.
The Perrelet ones look nice and substantial, with the diver (Seacraft) having an effective micro-adjustment.

As of this afternoon; the AP Royal Oak! What a piece of metal, oozes quality.

The IWC Flieger bracelet is amazing though, loved mine.

IWC 3717 (and other pilots). So comfortable and the link removal system is superb.

I like the Watchadoo 'lumpy'. Here' a photo of it on my Pulsar, but it's on my PRS17C now and looks even better as the 17C needs straight ends on the bracelet.

I have an Oris BC3 which came with a silicone rubber strap and a non-tapering lumpy very similar to that. Its a very attractive bracelet.

I've never tried one so no idea on comfort, but I think my absolute favourite in terms of looks is the Vacheron Constantin Overseas.
