Thanks guys. Yes, i had my Octa Reserve for over a year, which served me well. The additional date complication was useful ... except that i still found myself thinking of the CS all the time.

I must admit I was stunned by the beauty of the CS on your wrist. Congrats on the trade, and indeed a good choice. 38mm CS fit my wrist better in proportion; Your 40mm is perfect for your wrist. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Congrats
