One more blue strap. I think I went overboard

Looks nice! Looking forward to your thoughts as it gets some wrist time.

32mm RG arrived. Actual measurements are 31.6mm wide, and 43.2mm lug to lug. 7.55mm thick. The lug width is 17.7mm or 17.6mm depending on which side you measure, which makes the straps I bought a very tight fit.

Dial printing is clear, and slightly raised like lacquer as it should be. The strap is comes with is the typical plastic feeling leather you expect. On top of that the punched holes don't go far in, so I can't get a good fit on my 6" wrist despite the modest proportions of the watch.

Overall, I like it.

Turns out I’m a sucker for red straps and gold watches! Pretty cool combo!

These look stunning, especially the blue straps! Where did you purchase the strap(s)? What is the width of the straps?

(Sorry for all the questions)

Straps are mostly from ziczac. They are 18mm, which is slightly tight at the lugs are as little smaller.

Look nice! is it from OXF? I'm thinking to pull the trigger on SS 32mm.

Would anyone have comments or know the pros and cons of the 3KF, TWF, GF, BVF and Kor? Also if anyone has experience with the 22mm K11F ladies version?

 

[Parto]

Does anyone know if any factories are still making the Dumont in either Large or XL. I've seen some TDs sell the ladies sizes by F1 factory but struggling to find the mens versions (asked Li and Jtime without success).

Also I'd anyone has an old XF or similar gathering dust let me know

 

[MrFitzwilliam]

Hont has the F1 on a special offer: https://m.imgur.com/gallery/HSESvOX

Don't see the OXF version on any TD sites now. Any thoughts on OKF versus F1?

AFAIK F1s font Cartier is thinner. Seems to be more in line with watches released in 2017-2018
OXF font is closer to gens

Thanks for the insight. And I'm guessing OKF is more a budget tier factory?

XF>OXF>F1>OKF?

My very old NWBIG AF Tank just died. Thought it was a battery, but the movement is toast. Looking for a low maintenance, high quality quartz Cartier rep. Wish there were more top tier quartz reps in general(IE Reverso).

Not super familiar with the factory tier; personally I went with F1 because Hont had a deal, and on the wrist it's not noticeable since the watch itself is small

May I ask which side you went with? I'm considering the "ladies" size as 38 x 27.5 sounds best for my 6.7" wrists. I tried on the new Must Tank XL (41 x 31) and thought it looked too large for a dress watch.

I went with the 31 size model with a similar wrist size as yours; It felt perfect for me; Personally, Ive never tried Must XL, but with Tank solo, I wore 27 x 34 and it felt perfect for me. My go-to watch size is 36-38mm.

Thanks again! I think I'll go with the 31. Would love a wrist shot of it if you've got one. Are the straps proprietary quick release like the gen?

The straps had one of those quick release pins (not like original santos, but the regular quick release) the strap width afaik was 17.5mm which makes it tough to get replacement for. I had already given it away to my brother so I can't take the wrist shot sorry!
