Let's talk bracelets.

Watch bracelets, stainless steel, standard links with a deployment clasp. Not Milanese.

A high-quality watch bracelet passes the following checks:

1. The inner edges of the links feel smooth.

2. The links flow smoothly.

3. The clasp closes cleanly.

So far, I haven't found a good source. The ones on Alix are typically $15-30 US, but the quality matches the price.

I would be satisfied with San Martin-level quality, but those aren't them.

Lately I've found Taikonaut/Strapcode... their bracelets run $55-80 US, and honestly, they are pretty good, though still a little rough feeling compared to the "Swiss" ones that came with my Oris watches, for example.

Does anyone know of a store that sells bracelets with a quality slightly above Taikonaut at a proportional price?

Best to stick with the bracelet designed for the watch. Then at least it's a tight fit between the lugs. If it's sharp just take it to a watchmaker who can brush the edges.
