Recommend me a comfortable Super Engineer type bracelet that has beveled/round edges? Even better in titanium.
Ive got a SS one from Meyhofer and the edges are fairly straight cut and the shit digs into my skin.

Any other metal bracelets you recommend that is super comfy?

They seem to try, but otherwise always seem to miss their mark by a few degrees. I think it comes down to the owners being a bunch of young enthusiasts looking to fill some market niches, but ultimately failing either because they are sacrificing some details or dont have the nuances down of the whole package, or trying to sell their own idea.
I have their K01-L5 and while I love the Panerai-style simplistic dial, the strong lume that lets me know the time even at a glance in the middle of the night, the generic case choice is entirely too thick for their options (three hand dials with casings housing date-movements and stil letting copious mm of space), being somewhere at around 14mm thick and the heavyness of such a simple design always seems to put me off. If I were to imagine Id have one of their fliegers with the same brushed case and polished bezel, it wouldnt really work. They also love to make their hands in polished finish, which again goes against the whole tool-military aesthetic. Their new releases are also extremely overpriced and theirolder watches can be found either on salers deals or used market at much much cheaper(read: new release €500, after a few years €80-€150).

tl:dr I understand their ideas, but the execution is always somehow shoddy or not refined, with the prices never really matching. They need to get some thinner cases.

From what I hear, Sinn has some shoddy QC and ass-backwards customer service. How do we feel about Damasko, tho? Are their hardened metals a meme? I love the DS30 and DA36 and was already looking for a thin, light daily. Shame about their boringly german dials.

Hard to find ones that are gud. Meyhofer Super Engineers cost 50 bucks, but the screws dont quite fit the treads so they stick out, the edges of the individual links are sharp and just not comfy. When you wear it higher up, it cuts circulation, when you wear it loose, it flops down and hinders wrist movement. Im sure they are not hollow, as the bracelet itself is heavy as shit.
Then you have the other end of the spectrum, with 600 buck Damasko bracelets for 1k watches and whatnot. IMO, thats just being jewish.
Personally, the best fitting metal bracelet I experienced, was oddly on a titanium Casio. The bracelet hanging somewhat loosely, but the smooth links giving way allowing the (super light) watch to move out of the way when moving the wrist.
Also, metal bracelets get dirty relatively fast, show scratches and sometimes have to even be adjusted according to the climate you are in, but thats not that big of a deal.

However, I wouldnt take anyones praises/shit talk about anything, for anything. In the end, you will probably buy a few straps and bracelets and decide what fits you best (and perhaps rotate by mood or occasion).

What was that other famous used-watch portal other than chrono24? Neither carousel, tourneau or joma.

Strap ideas for this? Ive grown fond of light wearing watches, and the SS bracelet, I thought would fit it nicely, makes it overly heavy and overall not that comfortable for the whole day. The leather it came with is shit, not too fond of leather anyway. Brushed case, but polished bezel and hands, so not really a full-on tool watch. Should I just stop complaining as I mostly just wear it to and from work?
