Just a little update on something I've noticed about the bracelet.
Where the bracelet meets the case there is an overflap of lug link (for want of a better description) which leaves a raised gap and edge, so when you run your hand up the bracelet toward the lug, you can feel the prominent edge of the lug link.
Here's a pic to illustrate what I mean:
It's not a deal breaker but it does seem a bit of an oversight when most bracelets and lug links would run smooth and consistent to the case. I'll be changing straps this weekend so will try and understand why it's like that

Re: NEW ARRIVAL
I believe it is there to allow a better fit for those with a smaller wrist, it allows the bracelet to drop away from the case making the lug to lug length shorter' it's like fitting a half link at the wrong end of the bracelet. Not that I need that with a 40mm watch and 7 inch wrists.It'sAliveJim wrote:Just a little update on something I've noticed about the bracelet.

No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).
