Editor's note

Some watch collectors swear by the solid feel of a stainless steel bracelet. Others love the comfort, versatility and personality of a leather or rubber strap. Then there are the NATO loyalists, who wouldn't wear their watches any other way. Every option has its advantages, but this isn't about what's objectively better. **It's about what you'd choose if you could only have one.** Forget having a drawer full of straps. Forget swapping your bracelet for the weekend. You've got one choice for the rest of your watch collecting life. What's it going to be, and why? Cast your vote, see where the watch community stands, and make your case in the comments.
