Strapcode Hexad vs Super Engineer: two beefy bracelets for a beefy Marinemaster, and I can't pick
Option one: the beefcake
Quick follow-up, bros, with a couple of bracelet options for these Marinemaster 300s. Option number one is the Strapcode Super Engineer. A beautiful four-link, industrial-style bracelet, and I think it looks very handsome and beefy on this beefy watch. Screwed links. The traditional clasp is extremely well made, thick and milled out, with six micros. No dive extension, though. Very handsome, beefy-looking accompaniment to the Marinemaster indeed.
Option two: the Hexad
Option number two, on the other Marinemaster, Mr Jun's 047 limited edition, is the Strapcode Hexad. It's a three-link Oyster style, but with a sort of hexagonal design. All solid links, screwed again, and very nice solid end links. I opted for the Submariner-style clasp: thickly made, no diver's extension again, six micros. Really good construction.
Verdict
I like them both equally. There's one difference to consider: the Hexad starts at 20 mm and tapers down to 18, so it gets thinner towards the clasp. Engineer bracelets don't taper, so it's 20 mm throughout, which I actually prefer. I wish the Hexad did that as well. They also do an Oyster and a Jubilee. I don't like the Jubilee. But either of these look great on the Marinemaster. Nothing wrong with the stock bracelet, I like that too, but these are very nice options.
