Hi all,
So I just got my Calibre 1887 from Watch Eden today.
I picked this up, and requested a leather strap with deployment buckle instead of bracelet:

I was really excited to get this piece....but I'm disappointed for two reasons.
1: Not a big deal, but the glare on the crystal is blue. Bluer than expected. Is this an AR coating?
2: Even at the tightest setting, the leather strap is still too loose for my 6.5" wrist. I can't make it any tighter because the strap has a 'bulge' which prevents the adjustment clamp to move any further up on the strap. I really prefer the leather/deployment over a bracelet, so this is an issue- cant wear a watch that doesn't fit
If nothing can be done about the strap, does anyone want to purchase the watch from me?
