Interesting read.
I would have thought on something as high end as a Rolex that would not be the case. I admit looking at them from time to time, in regards to purchase, but many of those high end watches have those metal wrist bands. I do not like those, and haven't since I was a kid. They pull the hair on my arm.
Given the choice, I prefer a nice quality leather wristband, and a large face watch.
