    A Bonny Combo (Expedition content)

    I do believe I've found my perfect watch-and-strap combination.

    Everest Expedition on a Joseph Bonnie Bonklip. Super comfortable, ultra adjustable, very light, beautifully retro.

    Pics, I hear you cry, we need to see this wondrous marvel!

    Herewith, images:

    Seeing that picture, I wish I hadn't sold my JB bonklip. Looks really good.

    I have to agree with you. Have one on my Navigator.

    For a metal bracelet its very lightweight, has a fantastic range of adjustment, is very easy to adjust and is incredibly comfortable.

    Love that, O.

    It's a tempting combination.

    The oyster case shape always looks better with oyster or jubilee bras. I am not too sure about the bonklip. I want to like it but it doesn't work. It makes it look like an old man's watch.

    Having said that, I love it on the Navigator.

    Pics? ;)

    I like that Oliver. For a while I’ve been wearing a Timex with very similar dial and case, with a Bonklip-u-like bracelet. The Timex was a limited edition supposed to look a bit military/expedition like which my kids got me and I think they go well together. Not quite as authentic looking as yours but the same feel.

    Did your Timex look like this one. I wore mine on a Bonklip for a while and then sold both watch and bracelet.



    I also wore my Everest on the JB bonklip. It was as Rev-o stated, super comfortable and easy to adjust.

    Not identical but pretty similar...


    I really enjoy wearing it, very much a grab and go. Great minds think alike :).

    I have a Prs 25 which I wear on light and dark leather straps and rarely on the issued bracelet. Im not sure about the op’s choice. Yes its vintage , but its a bit to close to my “ dads’s” watch. However if it comfortable and you like it , go with it.
