im wondering if the bracelet’s 3 “columns” of links move Independently or if they’re fixed together? Hard to word this questionso not sure if it’s clear....

SupersportNope. The links aren't individually articulated, meaning what appears to be three individual pieces - working from left to right across the bracelet - is actually one. IMO, the bracelet on these watches is definitely not the best. It's rattly, has hollow end links and a budget-quality clasp. However, that's easily remedied with an aftermarket Strapcode bracelet.
NikoToscaniFor the price I probably should have assumed that. Thanks for confirming! :)

SupersportI've got an Oris Divers 65 with a bracelet that doesn't have the fully articulated links, either and that watch goes for ten times the price of the Orient, so you never know... IMO, the bigger issues are the clasp and end links.
NikoToscaniI just like how Breitling's bracelets (or at least some of them?) have the complex articulation...I just am not ready to pay the price for a Breitling haha

SupersportI just bought I micro-brand diver - a Lorier - that has a fully articulated bracelet and it cost under $400.
SupersportFunny how two folks posted about Oris and Lorier as points of comparison. I own both the Oris Divers 65 and the Lorier Neptune. The Oris retails for $2k while the Lorier costs under $400. Guess which one has the more comfortable, fully articulated bracelet?
