White straps and all that
Thanks everyone for your comments. The strap is actually not pure white, just a very slight grey to it, but it does complement the watch well. As Graham said, not sure about the PuristS red strap, but you never know until you actually try it on.
My wife likes the watch as well as the grey strap, so this is probably another watch I'm going to 'loose' from time to time. But when I get the PuristS version, I'm sure we can keep changing over!!
Overall, I am very inpressed with it, and of course impressed with the PuristS for running the competition, fantastic.
St Gallen arrives
A few initial thoughs on the watch. It's 42mm diameter and 12mm think, but because of the black rehaut and the integral thin bezel, it wears pretty big and its dial really stands out. Weight is just over 100g with the strap and buckle and it sits very nic...
Congratulations on that piece...
Wear it good health. Cant wait to get hold of the PPro version Cheers
congrats Tim, but not sure about the white strap(or the red for that matter)
if you feel like sending it for an off road experience you know where i am it'll be good to give it a thrashing before the purists arrive. well done Graham
It is such a pity ...
... that the PPro watch will not arrive in time for my "Dracula-Tour" through Transsylvania and the Carpathians next week. I had hoped to conduct a first experience test off road with it. Now I have to wait for a whole year ... Regards, Marcus
Excellence takes a long time; Perfection takes forever
Sorry Marcus. The super duper QC police at St gallen refused to accept our PPro dials with the raised cartouches. They sent them back to the dial-maker asking for perfection. Frankly speaking, only 7th dan black-belt PuristS with 20x magnification loupes ...
