Is this bracelet good quality? Anything to improve it like baby oil etc? what's the replacement option for it?

Which strap will match it best? I have gen black straps but think it doesn't match as well. I don't want gen aero strap. What else is better option?

Bracelet or strap so which one?

Can someone answer - gen buckle is worth it over rep buckle for $100? This is for tang buckle.

$100 for tang buckle is not worth it. I have several tang buckles from Etsy that are good enough quality. They are a little sharp on the edges but look great.

The deployant buckles are a different story. ARF makes a good one. But it’s expensive.

This deployant with a slide adjustment is from AN Factory for about $170. The quality is very good. If you want better a Gen is $475. It is made for rubber or leather straps. It does work on mesh bracelets but you can't remove it once installed.
