Like you, I'm pro-birdie. I think it's rather cute. But I get that it's a marmite thing, just like Tudor's snowflake hands which I also find cute :D
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Great review, and an apt line.

I initially thought they should have had different coloured (blued) hands too, but quickly realised that the design aesthetic was far more important on Bel Canto than something so prosaic as legibility.

I too love the bird design. But I think the watch works better on the bracelet than strap, although I am getting both too.

The black version looks good on the bracelet but I think it makes the Azzuro blue too sporty. I might experiment with the bracelet one day but for now I'll leave it on the strap. Glad you liked the review. Enjoy your Bel Canto when you get it.

Having seen a WTB in the Sales Corner this morning for one of theses, I felt this thread deserved a 'bump'.

Moreover, I ought to say that I miss mine having sold it a few weeks back, something I never thought I'd do, but its replacement will be here sometime next year. :wink: :wink:
