Is it soft Jon? Does it make that queeky sound when you twist it? You know, like what the plasticy rep straps do.

It's quite soft and should get softer after wearing. And no, glad to say no squeeky sound :D

Keep doing that and you'll just annoy the TD. Dial markers are simply glued on, they'll have a pin on the underside that locates into holes drilled in the dial. These have some wiggle room so they just need a wiggle. Easy fix.

NACK. Don't buy crap once it's already visible crap, especially since we are not talking cheapos. 80-90% of the movements have to be serviced after purchase anyway, so at least that what you can spot on the QC pics has to be in good order.

Swapped the Ardoise for this one for the afternoon [emoji41]

What strap is that you have on there aligborat? Orloff? I am still really doubting which color case and numerals, but want to order the strap together with the watch. I think the white dial with gold numbers is the most classic one, what do you guys think? I like the gold and ardoise but I am to young for that haha! 28

Imo, if you want something a biet casual and not too "heavy" then probably the white dial with blue numbers. Then, get a black gator pair of straps and then you're all set

I think this Rose Gold white face is my face right now, hard to choose between this and Ardoise face.

Yes Orloff strap, here is a photo he took before sending it to me:

And when I mounted it:

Yes, It's lighter compare to my 3777. I knew it straight when I am holding it but might be the movements is lighter. Not have a digi-scale to weight it to see whats the difference.
