Finally corrected the uncomfortable deployant buckle situation with a make-shift Panerai style buckle, similar to what Marius (Cosmopak) did with his Evo Perpetual, until I can replace it with a MB&F buckle and/or until my bespoke velcro straps arrive. For those who do not know, Max uses the same deployant buckle which comes with Richard Mille pieces. It is a spring loaded friction fit deployant buckle of high quality BUT sadly it pinches and doesn't sit comfortably for smaller wrist sizes. π’
