Did you apply some kind of paint? On a separate note, one thing I have often wondered with smaller reverso models is how difficult it is to wind them, the crown can sometimes looks very small and hard to wind, what is your experience?

I had never seen or heard of anyone changing the stitching colour on a strap before but it really is very clever and works. Marc.
