I have got lots of fountain pens and ten watches (four with pure Minerva calibers) and whenever there was an issue it was solved in a perfect manner.

And I also have the same problem with the color scheme. Red on blue, or orange on black or grey would be killer. Best, Daniel

I havent had the chance to see this in the metal yet

But based on the pics I have seen so far and the movement, its definitely a superb value chronograph for what it is. Only thing is the size and thickness is not for me personally.
