I like it, looks like you can really micro adjust the deployant clasp too...slip thru cam buckle.

The two part strap and deployant solution is what Justyn (Erratic101) did for me. It works very well. Custom lengths so not adjustable as that appears to be.

I agree. If it stays securely, it's really superior to the "cut to fit" Sinn type strap.

I can anticipate problems with it. One is the quality of the stamped clamp. Another is creasing the strap fabric. If it's stiff enough, and it appears to be, micro adjustments will result in uncomfortable or at least unsightly crimps.

Plenty of outdoor gear manufacturers have used similar solutions on backpacks and similar equipment. Meh.

Would love to see more non-integrated bracelet/strap cases like this one from Oris.

True, the "cut it and your screwed"...doesn't work for me. Tutima is the same way, and no micro adjust holes in the clasp either....kind of like the SMP abortion clasp.

Rob: 41mm too I think, so a decent size. Not stupid large :)

That's the one. The date window does suck, but that seems to be par for the course these days.

I'd prefer no date, but there is enough going on with the dial that I barely noticed it. I love the size too.

Nice size. I prefer the chrono. I like the 3 hander but I need a bezel or a chrono to keep track of time.

Both look great, although the hours and minutes hands are a bit plain.
