Excellent – I just got notification of my delivery slot – 1034 to 1134. I shall not have to wait in all day.

Oh yes! I love Cordovan. And blue was a great choice, adds gravitas but without being as austere as black would be.

No flags on this clasp!

The stitching on the new one looks brighter as well. Is the strap a straight 20mm with no taper?

Apologies, I forgot to answer this one. Yes, it is straight. No taper until you reach the tongue at the end.
