Thanks, actually found the perfect strap
On hermès website. Took a bit of searching but this 20*17mm Veau Barenia will fit perfectly! I might even leave it with the Hermès buckle 
Now the problem is that the strap will arrive much earlier than the watch
Not surprisingly, they are all sold out
as only 68 pieces were issued in each dial. I was considering it but the 13.9mm case thickness put me off and instead I opted for the new Ming 27.01 which I know is a totally different watch and in fact almost 50 percent more expensive but its height is a...
I did exactly as you did.
However if the HA Chronograph was sans date I would have had a harder time to decide
Agreed
but the thickness would still have been a bother. I once had a Montblanc mono pusher chronograph with a gorgoeus Minerva movement and an autographed hinged back limited to 58 pieces but it was 13.8mm thick. I only kept the watch for 3 months.
Aah. In my experience thickness is ok
As long as it is balance so that it won't tip often.
It is not so much the watch tipping
but more the fact that a thick watch is more likely not to fit underneath a shirt cuff or worse still catch something resulting in damage.
The Montblanc Villeret Grand Feu Enamel Chronograph
The gorgeous dial The not so gorgeous thickness and the added hinged back does not help. ...
Thanks for sharing
I know Robin has the black enamel dial WG case variant which is gorgeous. Is yours in rose gold? This is because I recently saw a NOS of the same watch but in WG case. Another gorgeous piece. I agree it’s abit thick but overall I feel it still feels very ...
Balanced it may be but
a watch with a height of 13mm and above is more likely to catch things and one has to be ultra careful when wearing it. I prefer my watches in as mint condition as possible so I decided it was too stressful to keep the watch and I have since sold it. Yes ...
I agree totally!
One of the reasons why I bought the watch apart from the astonishing 13.21 movement.
Congratulations Luca
I think the thickness add artistic element to this awesome watch. I am crazy in love with my JLC Tribute to Polaris, though it is. rather thick compare to my other watch.
Thanks mate, I went for the black because I liked more the dial, considering it less plain than the silver one...
than I saw the pic below, and considered I could live with its thickness... not overwhelming as it may appear on paper... imho Let’s see... ...
went for the silver
Found the « reverse panda » theme more original, thickness is a bit high but is partly driven by the glass... Overall i love the « retro with a twist” look and if you look closely there is quite a lot going on with the dial ( curved, steel studs, etc...) ...
Big congratulations
What if you start a request through here?. I will support and vote for no automatic no Chronograph. Perhaps Hajime Asaoka San would be kind listener and approve your appeal.
I would not dare challenge the master’s vision :)
I guess the text balances the logo to get some vertical symmetry... I don’t really like it but knew about it before buying... so I accept it
Totally agree
It is retro with minimalist detail accents. Very clean yet gorgeous chic
Congrats!!! more than lovely also with silver dial, already started the hunt for a good strap...
or more than one... Hermes or Jean Rousseau... but now we have some time to think about... 😂😂😂
Would love to know more about Hermes
Would you mind sending me an MP if you have a source / detail on ordering process ?
As easy as you can imagine, but you need to go to an Hermes boutique to place your order... NO way to make it through their website...
while for what concerns Jean Rousseau you could go on their website, you’ll find amazing straps ready to order or in case go for a bespoke one... Hope this could help Ciao Luca

Why would you want to change the strap if it is the same black?
Is the standard kurono not good? In what way?
It’s probably good...
... but probably not as soft and refined as Hermès Barenia. Got a few leather accessories in barenia and that’s one of the best leather you can find... Small personal luxury that nobody will see but I’ll know about totally useless self indulgence but why ...
Nice, well-styled watch, but 38mm x 14mm is a big wearability fail in my book.
Could also do without the date and the "Automatic Chronograph" script, but the dimensions are the real disqualifier here. Cheers, John
i just checked my Heuer Autavia is 15.6mm, Heuer Monaco 15m, even JLC The Tribute to Polaris 1965 is 18mm [nt]
I suppose it remains to be seen how it feels when it arrives. IMHO it will be very retro style chronograph dimension
In my personal experience somehow it attracts more
Interest than RM 😁, APRO, Daytona, Nautilus at the same table.
