Wow!the wait is over and now it's here.I have to say these are beautiful watches from TC.the crown guards look fine and the rounded insert is better than I thought it might be in the flesh.the bracelet is stunning but has the same issue that others have commented on,ie the links nearest the sel don't fold over and appear to be very tight.I think this is minor considering the over quality on show here.I'm suprised at how far the the crown pops out compared to other rollies I have and this might just be the type of movement.please excuse the sweaty finger prints as I was pretty excited when opening up the well wrapped parcel.a big thanks to TC for suppling this fantastic watch.
