I've had my GRAR watch for 8 years on the rubber strap that it originally came with, which is still in perfect condition. The watch is in great shape too. When I bought it, i didn't have the extra money for the steel braclet but figured I'd get it some day. Well, that day has finally come. Sizing it was a bit of a pain. If you buy this, I'd suggest spending another 5 to 10 bucks for a few precision screwdrivers. I got a set of 4 for $10 and it made a huge difference. You'll also need a clamp to hold the braclet in place. Using these tools it took me about 45 minutes to take the links out, size it on the watch, and screw it back together. And be careful not to drop the screws as they are tiny!The braclet itself is high quality. It's all brushed to match the watch, except for the safety clasp that has Marathon on it. This piece is shiny and appears to be polished. I really appreciate that the clasp has 5 adjustments. It allowed me to get the perfect fit, which makes it very comfortable to wear even though it's quite heavy for a watch.So why the 4 stars? I deducted 1 for the price. Clearly there is a big markup on these. I see other steel braclets with screwed links between $15 to $30, so $100 seems more reasonable a price to me for this. That said, I like having the branding, fitted end links, and diver's clasp (I don't need it but its it's cool), so overall I'm happy with the purchase. It was worth the wait.
