I always struggled to find a strap I liked for the carbotech models, I had Peter at gunnystraps make me a couple canvas black Velcro straps.. they work great and suite the light weight carbotech well

The more subtle strap really gives it a different feel.. I tried a couple different colors, the olive strap balances the dial color (vrs the original green strap that makes the dial look a lot brighter)

CSD on an olive strap works great..

I’ve been looking for one and it seems like all the boutiques and ADs I’ve talked to don’t have them anymore. Is Journe still releasing any more of these given they are discontinued?

Looking at them side by side, I think they use more of the space on the new model so it feels larger.

and the indents are a little smoother and easier to turn. Similar in feel to the crown on the octa automatique. I’ve always felt the original crown at 12 o’clock was thin enough to feel a little sharp.. All in all, it’s a lot easier to wind.

And ironically, Looking at them side by side, it makes me want to find a nice example of the 38mm (if prices ever come down a little).

As promised, here are some side by side photos of the 42mm 2020 Resonance and the 40mm 2019.

But I really think the 42mm is the right size for this watch. I typically prefer the 40mm size (picked 40 vrs 42 for the optimum and qp), but the new resonance really works well in 42mm.
