It’s far to cool to leave in the box 🤩

I loved this watch the first time I saw it and couldn't resist buying one. I still think it has a unique and simple charm. Yet I don't wear it that often -- not because it's uncomfortable but because it looks huge on my 6.8" wrist. Any 47mm PAM will, of course, but this one looks even bigger than its counterparts (e.g., 587, 673, 372, etc.).

I think it’s maybe not so easy to find the right strap for it. What I like about it is it’s quite versatile… you can wear it sporty, chic and pretty vintage like with a 3646 strap.
