One more thing, from what I’ve read, the bracelet buckle is extremely thick - 5mm or so - I can’t remember where I read that though, so worth googling it or asking the folks at ForaSec.

The metal bracelet is steel whereas the case is titanium, so it might have a significant color / hue difference.

This is the actual butterfly (steel) buckle , very comfy

To your question about the date window - some models do and some do not. The Kara 10th Anniversary edition does not. You don’t need to be concerned about whether the one you order does or does not come with a date window, as long as you order the right one of course.

It just seems strange to me that the blacks do have a date window and the blues don't. To me they're the same watch/model just with different colour faces. I want a date window so don't want to order something (especially not coming all the way from new Zealand) and to be disappointed. I'm fairly sure the black face will have a date window.

Is there potential for the dissimilar metals to cause a problem? (Steel on titanium)

I would need a date window too. I’ve been onto Forasecs website to have a look and it confirms that the blue is no date and the black has a date window :thumbup:

Perhaps due to the cost?
