96B258 Lunar Pilot on Bracelet

I picked up the Lunar Pilot 251, without the bracelet as I assumed (rather wrongly) that I could pick up a bracelet easy enough. I do love the 251, but was getting very envious of the 258 bracelet. The newer models have polished cases, which look nice, but seemed a bit too flashy for me. I did intend to get a Long Island bracelet, but didn't know if I'd like a beadblasted finish throughout without seeing it in person - I bottled it.

Picked up this model on ebay, wow! What a bracelet. I've never worn such a solid and comfortable bracelet. Got a really good fit.

I need to decide now If I want to keep both watches and just have the other on a leather or rubber strap whereas this watch is never coming off this bracelet!
